Re-worked K-98
I brought this the other day it was tatty as cleaned it up did some research as it intrigued me.
What I think this is could be a Yugo rework M1884K98 it still has the flash guard.
As a German 98 it is a ‘44 Carl Eichorn (1934-1944-5!) the scabbard is ‘42 CVL which is Weyersburg & Kirschbaum Co.
It bears the No.6116 K (which I think is pretty cool) it could be a German marking as the Yugo’s usually did it on the cross piece & frog stud however the examples I have seen the blade does not have such a rough finish.
So to get an answer were the Yugo’s that rough in their finishing or has bubba drunk a full 24 box of Jack Daniels cans and got to work with a grinder. Last 2 pics before & after. TIA
