*Rare* Nazi M98 Dress Bayonet & Frog Stamped R.F.V. Reich Finance Administration. 22296. - 22299 The Reich Finance Administration 'Reichfinazverwaltung’ (RFV), also called the Reich Tax Administration was a centralized administration in the German Reich from 1919 to 1945 that was responsible for the assessment and collection of taxes . At the top of the three-tier administrative system was the Reich Finance Ministry , followed by state finance offices (from 1937 called Oberfinanzpräsidien) and the tax offices. The highest superior was the Reich Minister of Finance. In the German Empire, the collection of taxes was primarily a matter for the federal states; each municipality decided independently on whether, how and when . In villages, levies and taxes were generally only paid personally once a year directly to the mayor, in cities to the treasurer. After the founding of the Weimar Republic, on August 6, 1919, the Committee of States approved the draft law for the establishment of the Reich Financial Administration. The Nazi M98 dress bayonet and scabbard, the dress sidearm for military and civilian uniformed formations was designated the M98 Dress Bayonet.

Australian M1907 Parade Bayonet and Scabbard with Regimental Numbers. 22256. - 22256 This is an Australian 1907 Pattern bayonet with 'SLAZ' marked grips and regimental markings. In around 1927 bayonet production ceased and was re commenced late in 1940. The bayonet shop was transferred from Lithgow to Orange in July 1942. The wood room, which made up rifle furniture as well as bayonet grips, was removed from Lithgow to the Slazenger Sports Goods factory in Sydney in 1941, and the mark "Slaz" on the grips indicates manufacture there. After Japans entry into the war in the Pacific, Australian bayonet development moved rapidly into newer, shorter and specialised patterns and so the long 1907 bayonets manufactured in WWII were short lived and consequently rare. The bayonet has a polished 17" blade with fullers. The ricasso is stamped with inspection marks and ‘OA’ (Orange Arsenal) and on the other side with "1907 2 43" (February 1943). The blade is in excellent condition. The bayonet has a straight waisted crossguard. The slab wood grips are both stamped "Slaz" and are secured with two screw bolts. The pommel is regimentally marked ‘D 17749’ to one side and has the push button release, which operates smoothly and clearance hole. The No 1 late scabbard has a large frog stud along with three rivets showing on the locket. It is leather and stitching are in good condition and is stamped "Mangrovite 43 (1943).

*Near Mint & Complete* Sudanese Contract German AR10 Bayonet *And Combination Tool*. 22260. - 22260 The Sudanese model rifle was the first AR10 with a bayonet which was designed for the rifle. In 1958 the Sudanese Military contracted with Samuel Cummings company Interarmco, to supply 2,508 AR-10 Battle Rifles. 2,500 standard rifles and 8 adapted to mount optical sights as sniper rifles. One of the requirements for the Sudanese rifles were that they were to be able to mount bayonets, something the AR-10 did not have a capability to do in its then current form. This inability to mount a bayonet was overcome by a rather simple and ingenious addition to the rifle. A cast and machined sleeve was fitted over the barrel between front sight base/gas block and the flash hider. This was pinned to the barrel just forward of the front sight base/gas block. It had machined into the underside of the bayonet adaptor a longitudinal rail to which the bayonet could be attached. The Sudanese contract AR-10 bayonet has a more symmetrical blade than that of the SG-42 and has no ‘blood groove’ (properly known as a fuller) which hints at the fact that it is seen more of a utility knife than as a ‘cut and thrust’ fighting knife/bayonet. It has been established that the SG-42 was manufactured by Waffenfabrik Carl Eickhorn in Solingen, Germany (determined by its cof marking / WaA19 inspection code), whereas the toolkit was made by Robert Klaas of Solingen (inspection code: ltk). Inside the bayonet’s grip are a number of tools which detach from the grip and can be used for rifle maintenance. The tools also include a bottle opener and a corkscrew. In regard to the AR-10 Sudanese bayonet, the Eickhorn company does not deny being the manufacturer of the Sudanese contract bayonet, they simply cannot confirm that they were the maker, since all relevant factory records have been lost. In the Dutch AR-10 archives, Interarmco (i.e. Samuel Cummings) does not disclose the name of the manufacturer, but refers only (in the pertinent correspondence with A.I.) to “the Solingen manufacturer” of this knife-bayonet for the Sudanese contract. The combination tool in the centre folds up and snaps into the handles of the bayonet. A cover swivels out of the way to expose a chamber for the ‘worm’. When the corkscrew is pulled out, the cover is swivelled back, and a notch engages with the worm to lock it in place. Blades of issued bayonets are marked with the serial number on one side of the ricasso ‘3009’ in this case and with ‘Interarmco Reg. Pat. Germany’ to the other side. It is contained in its original plastic scabbard with pressed steel belt loop. This scarce bayonet with even scarcer toolkit is in near perfect condition. The price includes UK delivery. 22260.
