Does anyone know if the K31 bayonet had a matching serial number when issued, or were they issued separately and not necessarily matching.
There's a couple for sale that are tempting but I want to know some of the background before I bite.
Well, the board is either fixed, or it's going to run terribly. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I'm at my technical limit right now.
Bayonet Question
Re: Bayonet Question
The bayonets when issued with the rifle should have matching numbers.
Soldiers do lose them and get issued with another.

Re: Bayonet Question
I've got an M94 that the only number that doesn't match is the slide on the rear site.

Re: Bayonet Question
Fair enough!
Is the sawtooth the proper one for the K31, or the plain?

Re: Bayonet Question
The 1918 plain is suitable for the K31 and the K11
The 1914 Pioneer will also fit both
Refer to the excellent site www.worldbayonets.com for your reference
I believe its run by one of our members

Re: Bayonet Question
The bayonets were numbered to the rifle when issued. Unnumbered bayonets were either unissued or issued to musicians who did not carry a rifle.

Re: Bayonet Question
Non combatants such as musicians etc in some instances had dress bayonets which had the Bayonet lug slot filled with timber so it cannot be mistaken for a combat bayonet.
This is a Swiss 1918 version
