Hello, it looks to be a German fireman's dress bayonet, however this is not my area of collecting i am sure someone will be able to confirm or refute this.

It is indeed a German WWII era firemen s ks98. The frog looks to be for a k98 bayonet, however.

Agree Fireman piece should have a KS98 dress frog one shown is for s84/98 as Jim P stated nice fire piece though they were not intended to fit on a rifle as there is no slot in the pommel worn as a sidearm and a dress piece by fire police. timothy

Hello,

this is not a bayonet....

this is a fireman Faschinenmesser - a fascine knife

It is a tool... not a weapon.

The frog is a standard service frog for a Seitengewehr 84/98 or matching modells.

And a K98 bayonet also never exist... you mean a Seitengewehr 84/98... but a Karabiner 98 k also match the Seitengewehr 98/05 and captuerd bayontes.
