[Grade] E++ [Item #] D260 [Description] 
1989/1905 Model Butcher Blade or "Sawback Removed" Bayonet with Frog by Frister & Rossmann of Berlin. This awesome combat bayo has a blued hilt and what appears to be a re-blued blade with several Waffen Amt stamps....which tells me it was re-issued in WWII. The blade spine is stamped with a crown over a "W" and the year of production "17" (1917) with a crowned "D" near the hilt. The reverse ricasso is stamped "Act.Ges.vorm" over "Frister & Rossmann" with "BERLIN" underneath. The back plate of the grip is stamped with what appears to be "SUW" over "193" and "SU4" under an early Waffen Amt style eagle near the hilt. There's a single "S" on the frontal spine of the grip, and another very faint eagle just above the lug. The scabbard is unmarked except for an "8" on the reverse ball and "16" on the obverse ball with a minor dent 1 inch above the ball on both sides.
