How does this dress Bayonet Look

[cerick1450]

Hi all. Please let me know if this bayonet looks original, and what the knot represents.

Thanks
Charlie

It is a nice eickhorn.

Your knot can be Infantry-Battalion 2-Company 6
or artillery-Unit 2-Battery 5
I am not an expert in this so let see what other people say.

I agree. Also in the mix is the 5th horse artillery and artillery instruction regiments plus the 7th rifle regiments.

Thanks for all the help.
I have a few more questions...
1) Is this a rare Knot?
2) Should it have a felt in the lug channel? What color?
3) What is the value of this set?

Thanks

Hi, Charlie !

1) I don´t think so, (why it should ?)
2) If there was no felt in, when you purchased the bayo, I´d leave it like that.
(usually you can find the red coloured felt with the Extra-Seitengewehr).
3) What ever anybody want´s to pay for it ...

Eick is IMO the maker, (together with WKC), who manufactured most of the German dress bayonets.

The condition of your knife is superb, congrat´s !

BTW, I like this kind of blade, the so-called "Karabiner-Klinge", ("carbine-blade").

Regarding the colours of the knot:


this means:

6th Coy of an Infantry-Regiment, also:
5th Battery of an Artillery-Regiment, also, Artilllery Instruction-Regiment, also:
5th Battery of an (horse)-mounted Artillery-Regiment, also:
7th Coy of an rifles´s-Regiment, (Schützen-Regiment)

Is the Carbine-Blade rare?
What rank would wear this set-up?
I appreciate all the information and comments.

Thanks

I do not believe, that the "carbine-blade" is more rare than the "common"-moulded" blade.

The "Extra-Seitengewehr" was worn by low(er) ranks, up to NCO´s.

[cerick1450]

The set was a direct vet family purchase, and is excellent condition. Any idea of market value? (It is not for sale, just curious)

Thanks
Charlie

... Any idea of market value? ...
...

As I hinted before, there´s not a "pegged value" for such item´s !

Mr. Jones maybe want´s to pay 94.67 Buck´s, Mr. Smith maybe 157,62 Buck´s, Mr. Allenby maybe ...

If your bayonet is in an absolutely unaltered condition and the scabbard is also quite OK, I´d say for myselfe: 130,-- Euro´s and not one single Cent more ...

P.S.:
Austrian price-structure !

[ivbaust]

Since this dress bayonet is nearly complete (just the felt plug missing) and in pretty good condition, I would see it around $180, max. $200 US. As Reibert-Austria said ... it always depends if there´s an interested buyer.

As a reference ... I bought this one (dress bayonet plus troddel) for $175 since it´s my favourite maker.

[jancz3rt]

Nice

You have a very nice short dress bayonet there. It is by no means rare in any way, but the condition is great. I would be happy to have a piece like that in my collection.

It must be an Aesculap, (or a Pack), doubtless, (regard the screws, instead the rivets !).

As I know you, it must be an Aesculap for sure, am I right ? ...
