My Grandfather had a German Saw-back Mauser bayonet brought back by his elder brother on his last leave. ( He died in 1916 from either typhoid or cholera )
I always wanted it and Grandad promised it to me for my 16th birthday. This became my 18th and then 21st. I think I was about 30 when he finally let me have it. It is the only bayonet in my collection and along with a photo of my Great Uncle will remain in the family.
