This fine Heer (Army) example has an excellent hilt, having bright nickel plating which still remains in 90% condition. The plating shows little age. The mortise button and blade release work excellent. There is an original red colored felt strip in the rifle slot. The grip plates are the black checkered type, both being in perfect condition. They are retained by nickel-plated steel rivets which have dressed heads on the obverse.
The scabbard is straight throughout and has outstanding paint. This paint is still 99%. Attached to the scabbard is a nice black leather frog. A very nice scabbard and frog combination.
The blade is a fine nickel-plated example still being bright throughout and easily in near full mint condition. The obverse blade is plain being the type with wide fuller construction. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the diamond having the Puma cat inside with the firm’s name below the head, Puma. Below the diamond is the location city, Solingen. The original brown leather blade washer is in place. A very difficult to find Heer bayonet.
