This ersatz bayonet was made in Germany in the early years of WW1. The height of ersatz bayonet manufacturing was 1916 as the Imperial German war machine rushed to equip the huge number of new troops. This pattern of ersatz bayonet has been designated under Carter’s classification as EB3.

The 310mm single-edged blade has a wide, three-quarter length fuller below a flat spine with upper false edge. The blade terminates in a double-edged spear point. The spine bears a German inspection stamp known as a fracture or Waffenampt. The blade is in excellent condition.

The cast steel grip is in excellent condition and retains its original feld grau paint. The two-piece crosspiece is stamped with the number 1729. The press-stud is in perfect order.

The bayonet is complete with its steel scabbard with original feld grau finish. The patina of the steel in the few areas where paint has been lost testifies to the paints originality.

The condition of this bayonet is excellent. The EB3 is one of the more common of the ersatz bayonets but the superb condition of the bayonet and original paint make this one a scarcity.
