The reason it looks odd to you is because it is not a German made S84/98 but a Spanish made M-43 bayonet, that someone has attempted to disguise as a 1944 pyy. I have a 44 pyy and I can tell you the Waffenamt should be WaA519 and the "44 pyy" on this is the wrong font and size. Other clues with the Spanish bayonet is the different shaped narrower blade, different grip plates, scabbard is also from the M-43.

Hello and thank you for your very kind guidance.
It is a real shame as I was very pleased to find a nice late war Bayonet.
I suppose I'll just have to send it back, but I guess it shows that even with items such as this fakes are elsewhere.

Regrettably, I'm afraid that I have to agree with Anderson that this bayonet is a postwar fake that is far removed from what a period "pyy" should look like. Best Regards, Fred

I'm impressed by the information. Very cool

Mostly this is not a spain M1943 but most real a repro piece,that was fake stamped to 44pyy, which is clear visible on pictures, only the frog is probably a real one. note the rifle slot, grips and screw, same as shape of fuller.b.r.Andy

Possibly from a new batch of these fakes I think that AndyB "nailed it" (got it right). A little different than some of the new production fakes I've seen it could be that there is more than one maker in this area. Best Regards, Fred
