M1898a/ASword bayonet for use with the8mm.Mauser Gewehr98made famous during the First World War.

First pattern example of the M1898, known as the a/A (alter Art=older model), with the scarce one-piece wood grip. This was the first bayonet produced for use on the Gewehr 98, with its revolutionarybayonet bar mounting system.This bayonet will also mount to most other Mauser bolt-action rifles that are based on the M1898 action, although the M1898 bayonet did not see much use after the First World War.

These long, slender blades are often called “quillback” or \"pipeback\" blades, due to the round spine that runs through the blade like the quill of a feather.

This example was made in 1902 by Simson &Co., Suhl. According to John Walter\'s book,The German Bayonet, Simson began making the M1898 in 1902 and the change to the two-piece grip was implemented by May 1902. This would have allowed only a few months during which Simson produced bayonets with the one-piece grip.

This example carries the Royal Cypher of König Georg of Saxony. King Georg reigned only two years, from 1902–04.

Both the bayonet and scabbard have matching regimental markings. The regimental marking \"100.R.3.97\" signifies:Königliches Sächisches (Leib) Grenadier Regiment Nr.100, Kompagnie 3, Waffen Nr. 97[100th Royal Saxon (Life Guard) Grenadier Regiment, 3rd Company, Weapon No. 97]. This historic regiment was one of the most prestigious units in the Army of Saxony, tasked with protecting the King. It was formed in 1670 inDresden. At the beginning of the First World War, it was the fourth oldest regiment in the German Army.

The slender leather scabbard was prone to damage due to its extreme length. This example evidences a repair near the tip.
