An Engraved Commemorative Dress Bayonet, by Robert Klaas","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eHeer Bajonett\u003c\/em\u003e). An extremely well-preserved Heer commemorative dress bayonet, measuring 39.5 cm in total length when inserted into the scabbard. It features a 25 cm-long, nickel-plated, magnetic steel blade which retains factory-original sharpening to the tip and lower edge. A wide fuller runs the majority of the length of the top edge of each side. The obverse bears an acid-etched inscription of “ZUR ERINNERUNG AN MEINE DIENSTZEIT” (“IN MEMORY OF MY SERVICE TIME”), flanked by a depiction of a Flak 88 with crew at the ready, all situated within an elaborate arabesque border. The reverse ricasso bears a maker’s mark of “ROB’T KLAAS, SOLINGEN”, topped by the firm’s classic kissing crane logo. The blade sits securely within a nickel-plated alloy hilt which features a hooked quillon and pommel, the latter with a hollow insertion slot with functional push-button release, and with a leather buffer pad covering the base of the blade. Two pieces of pebbled black bakelite compose the handle grip, and are fastened in place with domed metal rivets. Accompanying the bayonet is its original scabbard, constructed of a black painted magnetic metal shaft. A downward-pointing hook emanates from the side of the shaft for the accommodation of a frog, which is included and constructed of multiple panels of brown leather which are stitched into a loop for belt suspension. Wrapped around the frog is a portepee consisting of a stylized silver aluminum wire and green threaded acorn suspended from a blackened leather cord. A functional catch situated within the throat firmly holds the bayonet in place during storage. Demonstrating no notable damage or wear, this superb dedicated bayonet, commissioned to commemorate the service of a flak crewman, remains in an extremely fine condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49965572129045,"sku":"G63078","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/eMedals_G63078_2.jpg?v=1781726023","url":"https:\/\/www.emedals.com\/products\/germany-heer-an-engraved-commemorative-dress-bayonet-by-robert-klaas-g63078","provider":"eMedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
