trench knife, also, a bayonet

[Reibert]

Hi,

what´s the lenght of the blade ?

You have a "Eigentumsstück", a private purchased, blank weapon, more an "Extra-Seitengewehr", ("dress bayonet"), than a trench knife or Armeedolch.

Best,

The blade is just over 8 inches long though it might of been slightly longer depending on how much, if any, has been lost through sharpening?
I think that the bayonet has been used as a knife at some point in its life as both edges have been sharpened up but when that was done and who it was done by I don't know.
