I am watching several on ebay but they are selling for $95+

yeah iron colonel I got too impatient waiting for that website page to load so I found another one, although it's in another language it has the pictures of the bayonet mounted.

Wouldn't mind having one of those rifles in semi auto....

So off topic, were k31's made by SIG?

well yes and no, many arms makers made them, and all were made to a spec, dont you wish other things were done like it

So I just got this bayonet and am cleaning it up. I will post a pic later but how can I get a date of manufacture on them? I know it is a 1918 pioneer but were they only made in 1918 or made until the next version came out. And does the number stamped on it have any significance?

There is a K11 with a sawtooth bayonet on Gunbroker.

Ok here are the pics.

Any idea where I migh find a scabbard for this bayonet? Or maybe have one made? I suppose I could make a leather one that would work.

Well I made my own frog for the bayonet I bought similar to what was original. I guess I based the pattern off of it. But it already had a scabbard, so if yours doesn't have a scabbard, then it might be a bit more difficult.

Some of the older ones had leather scabbards. But they also had metal parts on the top and bottom. Hmm, maybe if I could find one to cast a mold from.
