Often issued with the Kar 98AZ in both standard version and saw-back Pioneer version.

Early ones had nice 2-piece wood grips, but they got charred if the rifle was fired much, owing to the forward position of the bayonet on the AZ.

Later ones had a thin steel strip along the spine of the handle to protect the grips from the flash.

NICE bayonet, friend.
