ISREAL
When founded after WWII the Israeli military bought  (obtained) a lot of military equipment via Czechoslovakia. This included ex German 84/98 bayonets that the Israelis modified by the addition of muzzle rings, leading to Israeli marked bayonets still with their original WWII German markings. The local Kibbutz's also made a copy of the 84/98 which can be identified by the prolific Hebrew inscriptions, the lack of the German markings and the poorer quality of the manufacture.

Manufacturer 101.1949 The scabbard´s is  marked: Scabbard Mk.IA. Manufacturer 101.1949 thanks to members of the gunboards forum for the translation
	M49 model with knuckle bow between cross guard and pommel. This one is interesting in that it has wooden grips, most of this pattern M49 seem to have composite grips. Aging of bow and other metals are similar so modification is probably period.
