Original Item: Only One Available. German WWI Ersatz bayonets with their original 12″ blades are very hard to find today. The classic work by J.ANTHONY CARTER, GERMAN BAYONETS, VOLUME THREE published in 1992 is the complete work covering all types of WWI Ersatz bayonets and cherished by bayonet collectors everywhere.
Anthony Carter’s Reference EB58 appearing on Page 136 is the model we offer here. It features a Heavy Stamped steel two-piece hilt with a muzzle ring designed to fit captured Belgian M1889 Rifles. The blade is a simple 10 inch unfullered example with no sawback, and the bayonet is contained in a green-painted “Fag” style steel scabbard.
J. Anthony Carter died in 2001 but his four volume work is acknowledged as the supreme reference work on the subject most especially the Ersatz Volume (No.3) which was his great passion throughout his lifetime.
A nice Ersatz Bayonet Type EB58 for Belgian M1889 rifles complete with scabbard, ready to add to your collection!
