The saw back version was known as the S98/05 m.S. The bayonet was originally issued in two patterns, one with a saw back and one without. The bayonet relied on the length of its hilt mounting to fix the blade to its rifle. The S98/05 bayonet was typical of German bayonets of the period in that it only had a vestigial muzzle ring, often referred to as “high ears”.
