{"product_id":"germany-heer-a-dress-bayonet-by-lauterjung-sohn-g49898rl1","title":"Germany, Heer. A Dress Bayonet, By Lauterjung \u0026 Sohn","description":"(Heer Bajonett). A very well-preserved Heer dress bayonet, measuring 405 mm in total length when inserted into the scabbard. It features a 260 mm-long polished magnetic steel blade with a sharpened tip and semi-sharpened lower edge. Dual fullers set into the upper half of each side of the blade, extending approximately two-thirds of its length. It bears a maker’s mark near the reverse ricasso of “PUMA, SOLINGEN” for the firm of Lauterjung \u0026amp; Sohn, topped by the company’s classic logo of a puma’s head in profile. It sits securely within a one-piece nickel-plated metal alloy hilt, with the seam covered by a fully intact black leather buffer pad. A hooked quillon emanating from the upper crossguard corresponds with a slight curvature to the pommel for a comfortable grip. Dual strips of pebbled black bakelite comprise the handle grip and are secured together with two magnetic metal rivets. Set into the pommel is an insertion slot retaining a period original red wool insert, and featuring a functional push-button release for rifle attachment. It is accompanied by its period original scabbard, constructed of a black-painted magnetic metal shaft. A downward-pointing hook emanates from the upper third of the shaft, retaining an original frog, itself constructed of heavy black leather and stitched into a loop for belt suspension. The throat of the scabbard is secured together with a single side rivet and retains a functional spring catch, securely holding the bayonet in place during storage. It demonstrates only minor issues consistent with age, including some running marks to the blade, small spots of surface wear to the nickel-plated features, and slight loss of scabbard paint. The bayonet is in an overall near extremely fine condition.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46132647723285,"sku":"G49898.RL1","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/m21_mnc5308_1.jpg?v=1692902021","url":"https:\/\/www.emedals.com\/products\/germany-heer-a-dress-bayonet-by-lauterjung-sohn-g49898rl1","provider":"eMedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
