E-pack bayonet

[Saržeri88]

I need an opinion about this bayonet.
Etching looks fine, but I'm worried about fixing the blade in relation to the body bayonets.
It seems that it is not flush with the handle bayonet.
I recently paid a bayonet, however it is still on its way to me.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like a nice E. Pack Nr. 6 Infanterie motif as depicted in their 1938 catalog. There were three
variations of this etch. As pictured in Wayne Techet's book. From the photos I do not see the problem
you are referring to.

Sometimes photos can make items look odd depending on the angle of the camera. The fit under
the blade washer where the blade meets the crossguard should be flush and not angled or cocked.
The grip plates mounting screws look to be in line. Problem may be in the photo.

That's what I suspected, but I get the same results in all the photos.
Basically these irregular edges, are usually a sign that the blade was taken off from the body.
later was a problem haw to fixed back. (I suppose)
I decided to send bayonet to back to the seller.
