WW2 German M98 Pattern Bayonet by Hörster.

A German M98 pattern bayonet in excellent condition marked on the ricasso with 43 asw, stamped by the maker E. & F. Hörster & Co. Solingen, Germany. It is the type of bayonet sent for export as the serial number has a strike through. It also has some unusual and small number near the pommel, probably an acceptance mark, please see pictures. It has the blackened stell export type scabbard which is marked Cof 44. Which I believe is the mark for Carl Eickhorn. So, a real mix and match product sold to other countries during and after the second world war. It measures 16 inches long.
