Rare* Bayonet KCB for G3 Assault Rifle and Scabbard. BAYO 433. Bayonets

Produced by Solingen and purchased by Greece between 1975 and 1981. The horizontal layout of the catch button makes it different from other KCB variants. The GMS version of the Eickhorn wire-cutter bayonet design. The Squirrel trade-mark on the blade obverse has a horizontal line over the stylised animal, a version of the mark favoured by GMS. The wire-cutter attachment on the scabbard of this GMS bayonet differs from that found on earlier Carl Eickhorn scabbards. The GMS wire cutter is not based on a flat steel plate, but is of tubular form, completely surrounding the end of the plastic scabbard body. The protruding tip forms a screw-driver and bottle-opener”. Note the large pommel lug and the Profile 4A catch. The blade is blackened and seemingly un-used, measuring 17 ½ cm with serrated edge and 31 cm overall. The scabbard has its webbing hanger and integrated belt loop. In very good overall condition. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 433.
