This is a very nice example of the rare Mauser Model 1871 84 rifle bayonet with scabbard, made for Prussia and regimentally marked. The bayonet is in very good condition, with lots of clear markings. The M1871 84 was the first knife bayonet to become general issue in a major army, setting a trend that continues to the present day. Most of these bayonets were later altered into M1884 98 knife bayonets for the Gewehr
