This item is a Model 1935 Mauser Bayonet, which was commonly modified from earlier, longer captured European sword bayonets to fit standardized 8mm Mauser rifles.

Features two-piece wooden grip scales secured by rivets, a straight crossguard, and a distinct hilt with a prominent push-button locking mechanism.

Blade Shape: Features a single-edged blade with a pronounced fuller running along both sides to reduce weight.

The Markings:"13. F" Stamping: This is a classic unit/regimental inventory marking typical of Imperial German structural organization tracking."1 11" and "TT" Markings: These represent specific arsenal batch numbers, inspection proofs, or factory weapon identification codes stamped during production or reconfiguration.

Scabbard Value Retention: While localized denting is highly common for these thin-walled steel scabbards due to field use, its presence is vital. The clean fuller, straight edge, and absence of heavy pitting or post-factory grinding help keep the value at the higher end.

Grip Stability: The fact that the wood grips are securely pinned with intact rivets prevents the value deductions typically associated with loose, replaced, or cracked handle scales.

This bayonet has a two-part history spanning different eras:

The Original Blade: The "13. F" stamp points to the blade or base components being originally manufactured during the WWI Era (circa 1900–1918), probably as an Imperial German contract export. The Modification: It was officially cut down, re-fitted with new hardware, and standardized during the WWII Era (circa 1935–1940) by military arsenals.
