    Hello Thomas,

    To be honest I never thought to sell any items from my collection.
    I am looking for a bayonet with markings 2.P.B – Pommershes Pionier Bataillon Nr.2.
    So, if you have bayonet marked like that than I can consider trade with you.

    Cheers,
    Milosz

I would be happy to hear from you
