Sorry about the pics, not sure why they upload sideways
The second one is most real with new not proper black paint on scabbard.b.r.Andy
Hi Andy, as far as I no the dress bayonet was the only one to have a painted scabbard , the k98 service bayonet was always blued, shame someone has painted this one but its in great condition and was very cheap! First one totally standard vet bring back in slightly salty condition just how I like them used but not abused
Cheers john

Is one more valuable over the other? I like the looks of bakelite over wood.Great Question Will
Not in Value..but in production period.
Both are desirable IMO..but for the type collector..the wood type may be more attracting.
I think both types from the same producer with a description displayed in a display noting the time period differences ...OR... a reason why the same date with different grip plates.
Im curious also..wait for Sleepwalker , Fred or Andy B...for their thoughts . I like them both..and would display nicely together.
