Original Israeli Issue M-1949 Mk. 1A Mauser 98k Rifle Bayonet with Heavy Muzzle Ring & Scabbard ger Ordered to New Orleans toOriginal Item: Only One Available. After the defeat of Germany in WWII, there was a flood of surplus weapons available on the market, both publicly and through other channels. In 1947 and 1948, Israel clandestinely procured captured Second World War German weapons, including Kar 98k rifles and M1884 98 III bayonets. Not entirely happy with the design of the bayonets, the German bayonets were refit with sturdier crossguards with heavy muzzle rings.
