This evocative image showcases a First World War German Mauser Gewehr M.98 butcher blade rifle bayonet, manufactured by Packohlger & Co. of Solingen. The Mauser Gewehr M.98, or Military Rifle Model 1898, was a significant firearm used extensively by the German military during the First World War.

Its distinctive serrated edge was designed to inflict maximum damage and ensure a swift and brutal end to the conflict. 4.

The scabbard's design is simple yet effective, with a secure locking mechanism that kept the bayonet in place when not in use. 5. This historical artifact serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of war during the First World War. The intricate details of the bayonet and its scabbard showcase the craftsmanship and engineering prowess of the time. As a piece of military history, it holds immense value for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of the past. 6. The First World War German Mauser Gewehr M.98 butcher blade rifle bayonet, manufactured by Packohlger & Co. of Solingen, is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those who lived through one of the most significant periods in human history.
