AT first look ww1 k98 late bayo not for sure wait for more opinions.

It looks like Weimar accepted and probably a later rework as is overall blued, the bayonet itself probably was never accepted in WW1.

Hi,
WW1 Mauser bayonet, they also did a version with the saw on it, but that was really fround upon
so most had them ground off. they are commonly called a butcher bayonet as they have the same shape blade, your bayonet is in very good condition and would be good in any collection.

Hello,

this is a german S98/05n.A. (Seitengewehr 98/05 neuer Art), made by Cito Köln.

After the use in the imperial Army, this exemple were used in the reichswehr (Stamp "1920") By a order of 1934, the bayonets had to blued und modifed. Such a "after 1934" example you have.

Until 1937/38 the S98/05 were not longer in service by the aktive units.
