Restoration of WWII Mauser K98 Bayonet from 1940

Ойын-сауық

In this video I'm restoring a World War 2 German bayonet which was used with Mauser K98 rifles. I found this bayonet myself on a WW2 battlefield with a metal detector. I tried to be as gentle as possible, I don't like taking too much metal off of historical pieces like this one.

  • @soul_iron_restoration

    @soul_iron_restoration

    Жыл бұрын

    Thanks. The best way would be to make or find a metal bar that is nearly identical to the scabbard's inside shape and push that bar inside the scabbard. It would straighten the dent. You can also use a metal rod, fix it in a vice, push the other end inside the scabbard and carefully hit that dent with rubber/wooden hammer until the surface is smooth and straight and there are no signs of the dent. Either a bar or a rod have to be really smooth, otherwise it may make extra dents to the scabbard. You can also try with a wooden piece that fits the scabbard from the inside. And don't forget to remove the spring in the beginning. I hope I explained it well enough :)

    If you don't have welding gear, it might be worth your while at some point to get someone to weld a small piece of steel to the tip, so that you can reprofile a new completely sharp tip on it. That, however, goes against the possibility of the tip having been broken in a battlefield fight, which is evidence of it having been used for its intended purpose, of course.

    I have thought of restoring the tip but decided against it. As you mentioned, the broken tip is indeed an evidence or a "battle damage". For me it makes the bayonet unique and adds some value.

    You shouldn’t weld tips back onto blades or knives if ruins the hardening and tempering process plus it changes the internal structure and will be prone to break again you would be much better to reshape the tip an it wouldn’t cause any more damage

    That is a polishing paste. They come in different colours and different grits, just like sanding paper. From more robust to really fine. With the paste you can make the metal surface to be like a mirror. I used it to slightly refresh the look, it was a bit dull.

    @@alenalost2822 You can definitely solder the holes and the edge and then file and sand to make the surface smooth. It's easier than welding. With welding you could get even black finish because the welds are also iron like the blade. Solder will remain white, it doesn't react with the blueing solution. You might want to keep your blade white too, then the solder won't be very visible

    Hello! Can I ask what type of paint you used to paint the sleeve that won't chip off after a few months? Do you still have this bayonet? Hasn't the paint come off since then? You know, I have a Magyar FÉG 35M bayonet, the sheath of which was originally painted goosepoop-green, but mine was rusty, so I sanded off the rust and now I should paint it. I just don't know how to make it last.

    Hi! Yes, I still have this bayonet and the paint is completely intact. I used Hardcore brand black matt spray paint but there're lots of suitsble paints out there. If your paint comes off it's either because of wrong paint or the metal being greasy/dirty. In any case you should clean before painting and i recommend to use the primer. It's much easier for the paint to hold onto primer than the bare metal. I didn't use one because I knew the bayo would be on a shelf at home and because the putty kinda works like primer too. Anyway, the paint on the sleeve seems strong. Good luck!
