Question about kar98 bayonet

Cheese · November 19th, 2006, 14:55

Today (sunday), I went to a gun show. At a table, there were few bayonets on it. I looked carefully and I saw a nice one. I watched closely and there were the 2 waffen stamp on the pommel, but it's a little bit erase but it's still possible to read the number. Serial number between bayonet and scabbard match and the number is : 1035. Ricasso number is 8337 J. The blade is entirely blued and look like it was original. The bayonet is not sharpened and no trace of rust or scratch are present. It's dated 1944, because there is on the blade the mark ccf 44.

I said to the seller: " How much?" He answered 85$. Ok, I'll take it ! Thank you !

I know ccf represent a manufacturer, but is there someone that can tell me what is this manufacturer. I looked on internet and I found nothing.

The manufacturer is cof and not ccf. cof is for Carl Eickhorn Waffenfabrik, Solingen

thanks for help

Hmm, excellent resource Oberst, checks out perfectly with this lil' manual I have. Of cource it has some information not covered such as the rarity of certain makes.

Still stand by the "Need pictures" comment though

yes I have some pictures on the pc, but I need a place to host them. Unfortunatly, I couldn't focus closely.
