History
The WWII German 98K Dress Parade Bayonet and Scabbard made by Carl Eickhorn (often spelled as "Eichhorn") is a collectible piece from World War II. The 98K bayonet was used with the Karabiner 98K rifle, which was the standard issue rifle for the German military during the war.
Carl Eickhorn was a prominent German edged weapon manufacturer based in Solingen, Germany. They produced a variety of edged All_weapons, including bayonets, daggers, and swords, for the German military. Their products were known for their quality and attention to detail.
The Dress Parade Bayonet was a ceremonial version of the standard 98K bayonet, intended for use during formal military events and parades rather than combat. These bayonets often featured more ornate designs and were not intended for actual use in combat situations.
