Original Imperial German WWI DEMAG Crank Handle Ersatz Trench Knife Bayonet with Scabbard M3 Grease Gun When checking the serial numberOriginal Item: Only One Available. A very recognizable but nevertheless a very scarce original German WWI bayonet. This is an original Imperial German Aufpflanzbarer Grabendolch or Fixable Trench Knife Bayonet, often referred to by collectors as the DEMAG.
