84/98 handle nuts and bolts

[Lobo RSA]

I have found a very nice German 84/98 bayonet and need two new bolts and nuts for the handle as I will have to destroy the original to stop the rust under the handle spreading and to replace a broken piece The bolts look to be 3.5mm with a fine thread. I could try making new ones as getting replacements here is impossible. British ones may fit and I have noticed some members have contacts for this I will reimburse all costs

these are often for sale on Ebay as reproductions to ensure that your blade looks as original as possible

Hi Carl, OK but which e-bay US or UK Under what heading as that sounds to be the way to go!

My search is world wide but the bits are usually eastern Europe. Just search Mauser grip screws or similar

Thanks all and yes there are good guys out there. I bid on a set on e-bay but it closed a 4 am in the morning here I was outbid by 10c while asleep!!!The seller in the USA contacted me and asked why I had not tried harder and after explaining and mentioning I only needed one bolt he took my details and posted me one as a gift My 84/98 is now as new!!!!
