M1911 Torpedomesser

[Grabenmaxx]

I know there are not a lot of edged weapons collectors here. But I'm giving it a try anyway since this is the only international forum I'm on.

I'm selling my M1911 Torpedomesser. Really rare and in great condition. I'll let the pictures speak for itself.

Asking price: 1445 euro including shipping.
Picking it up in person is of course also an option.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that such a blade existed. Looks to be in excellent shape.

Is the scabbard the same as any of the other bayonets? What's the length of the blade? Its a super cool sword.

 

[Gunner who?]

Interesting - Simson/Suhl later built Motorbikes in the GDR.

No. It's about 4cm longer than the common "butcher" bayonet.

I'll make a picture for comparison this evening.

I found this picture I already had, showing it with some regular S98/05's.

Here you can see it's longer and also a bit wider.
