WW1 Era DEMAG, Imperial German Army, Aufpflanzbarer Grabendolch Or Fixable Trench Knife Bayonet & Scabbard With Integral Belt Loop. Sn 23226 - 23226 An original World War I Imperial German Army, Aufpflanzbarer Grabendolch or Fixable Trench Knife Bayonet, often referred to by collectors as the DEMAG. These knife Bayonets were popular private purchase weapons for German infantry men fighting in the trenches of the Western Front, as they provided a much handier and more useful multipurpose tool than that standard Mauser M-1898 bayonet. They were produced by Deutsche Maschinefabrik A-G of Duisburg, and the collector nickname originates from the circular DEMAG – DUISBURG makers mark on the ricasso. The combination knife bayonet has a unique “crank” shaped steel handle and steel cross guard, which is instantly identifiable with bayonet lug slot and button which works as it should. The undamaged clean double edged blade with medial ridge is 6" long (10 ½” overall). It's square shank ricasso is faintly stamped with the Demag roundel and the reverse 'Gesetzlich Geschutzt' (quality assurance / patent mark). The steel crank handle retains its original olive green paint. Its original olive green painted steel scabbard has a riveted integral leather belt loop (its original retaining strap with stud fastener is absent). The price includes UK delivery.

The 10" single edged fullered blade is marked by the Nazi wartime manufacturer code marked at the ricasso ‘byf’ (Mauser-Werke). The spine is dated ‘43’ (1943). The blade is numbered ‘71830 above 360’ and is beautifully etched on both sides with panels ‘Deutsches Kriegsmarine 1940’ & 'Schlachtschiff Prinz Eugen’ (Translation: German Kriegsmarine 1940 Battleship Prinz Eugen’ (Prinz Eugen was an Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser, the third of a class of five vessels. She served with Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. Prinz Eugen saw action during Operation Rheinübung, an attempted breakout into the Atlantic Ocean with the battleship Bismarck in May 1941. The two ships destroyed the British battlecruiser Hood and moderately damaged the battleship Prince of Wales in the Battle of the Denmark Strait. Prinz Eugen was detached from Bismarck during the operation to raid Allied merchant shipping, but this was cut short due to engine troubles. After putting into occupied France and undergoing repairs, the ship participated in Operation Cerberus, a daring daylight dash through the English Channel back to Germany. In February 1942, Prinz Eugen was deployed to Norway, although her time stationed there was curtailed when she was torpedoed by the British submarine Trident days after arriving in Norwegian waters. The torpedo severely damaged the ship's stern, which necessitated repairs in Germany. Upon returning to active service, the ship spent several months training officer cadets in the Baltic before serving as artillery support for the retreating German Army on the Eastern Front. After the German collapse in May 1945, she was surrendered to the British Royal Navy before being transferred to the US Navy as a war prize. After examining the ship in the United States, the US Navy assigned the cruiser to the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll. Having survived the atomic blasts, Prinz Eugen was towed to Kwajalein Atoll, where she ultimately capsized and sank in December 1946. The wreck remains partially visible above the water approximately two miles northwest of Bucholz Army Airfield, on the edge of Enubuj. One of her screw propellers was salvaged and is on display at the Laboe Naval Memorial in Germany). The pommel has an etched panel on one side ‘ Kriegsmarine anchor device & Swastika within panel’. The pommel is Waffenamt and has original red felt in the mortise slot. The bayonet has undamaged wood grips. Its steel scabbard is dated ‘41’ (1941) together with manufacturer detail ‘agv’ (Nazi manufacturer code for Berg & Co, Solingen). The ball end of the scabbard is Waffenamt.

**MATCHING NAVAL ANCHOR MARKS**WW1 Era French Troupes Coloniales / Fusiliers-Marins (Marines) Marked Lebel M1886/93/16 Cruciform Epee Bayonet, Scabbard & Leather Frog. Sn 22890 - 22890 The Troupes de Marine are a component of the French Army, not the Navy, despite their name. Their history dates back to 1622 as colonial troops under the French Navy, but they were transferred to the Army in 1900, becoming known as Troupes Coloniales before being renamed Troupes de Marine in 1958. Today, the Troupes de Marine are a versatile force with a primary mission of overseas service, comprising various specialties like infantry, airborne units, and artillery. By the time the Troupes were transferred to the Army the unit names changed from "Marine" to "Colonial" while the Fusiliers-Marins remained part of the French Navy. The Troupes Coloniale were still used in occasional amphibious landings but this was because of the ready availability of units normally based near naval embarkation ports or in colonial garrisons. In the World War I Gallipoli campaign in the Dardanelles, the Corps expéditionnaire d'Orient was more than two-thirds Troupes Coloniale including the 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th Colonial Infantry Regiments and Colonial Artillery. The Troupes Coloniales were however far more likely to see action in African or Asian land campaigns or, during both World Wars in France itself. This is an excellent original example of the French Épée- M1886/93/16 bayonet, complete with its steel scabbard & frog (see page 85 and page 06 item 209 of The Bayonet Book by Watts & White). These bayonets were made for use with the iconic Lebel rifle, these bayonets were widely issued to French forces during World War I and remained in service into World War II. This example marked to the Marine Troupes Coloniales / Fusiliers-Marins is in excellent condition, with a bright lightly blued 20 ¼” long cruciform steel blade free from rust or damage. The blade is straight and tapers to a pin sharp point and has French military inspection marks. The white metal hilt with steel muzzle ring and knurled lever release catch which works correctly are clean. The muzzle ring block is numbered 25530 and has the Naval anchor mark of the Troupes Coloniales / Fusiliers-Marins. The scabbard is original and retains a smooth finish with no dents—rare for pieces of this age. The throat of the scabbard has matching Naval anchor mark, French military inspection marks and has faint number ***56. The scabbard is fitted with original leather frog which has the correct large belt loop with retaining strap and steel buckle. The leather has a faint indistinct impressed manufacturer roundel. All leather and stitching are clean & intact. The price for this excellent rare to find French Marines Lebel bayonet set includes UK delivery. Sn 22890 (all other countries box 2) £475.00 |
