This is an excellent rare example of the M 1898 05 Bayonet (Seitengewehr), which was the most common German Bayonet of the First World War. It was intended for use on the standard issue service rifle of Imperial Germany: the Mauser designed Gewehr 98 (GEW 98). It features a heavy 14. 5 inch steel blade with distinct bulge toward the point, giving extra weight and power to the business end, known as a "butcher blade".
