That is not a boot knife, that is a Second World War German S84-98 bayonet.

The chain is non-standard.

Does it have any markings ?

Regards

it looks to be a K98 bayonet with a cut down frog, and a curious chain attachment. i cant tell you what that would be for.

I have been told that this K98 bayonet has been customized in Norway to be given away as a gift from the Norwegian Defense Museum to special friends of the museum that have contributed in any way to the best interest of the museum.
