    Unmarked K98 Bayonet & Scabbard

    I just got a K98icon Bayonet & Scabbard in a local 2nd hand store. The Scabbard is not numbered and has a parkerized type finish to it. The Bayonet is marked on the Pommel with "WaA 518" and with, what appears to be an Asterisk above it. There are no other markings I can see and I also removed the wooden grips and looked back there. The metal has a "brushed" finish to it. Can anyone enlighten me?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Are the grips wood or bakelite? What is it you need to know?

    THe asterix is thought to indicate an accepted rejected blade, and the lack of any other marks would tend to indicate it is a commercial for police and militia purchase.

    goto the link on my post, there is a mass of information on these, there is little more to say if there are no markings although the WaA shoudl identify the maker the user will be unknown
