Greetings Gents -
Been a while, but here is a photo I picked up, and it was pricey but figured with the bayonet it made a nice set. It is a period photo of the German Made, Austrian M1917 Ersatz Bayonet (w/o NCO accoutrements) for the Gew. 88 (Austrian M13). Only period photo of one I have seen, but that certainly doesn't mean there aren't more out there. Would be nice to find a photo where the bayonet is mounted.
Any thoughts on the collar design/insignia? The bayonet is marked to the 97.R. Unit.
Best regards!
