Hi: I am new to collecting and I am considering my second purchase....I was lucky with my first. Hoping for help on my second.

Ad says it is SS Bayonet, some the photos I can see S/173 G (1935 Bayonet)

Looks like a phone camera pictures. From that pictures looks like a very good condition, but this is high dealer's price. I would say 200- 260 is OK

Why does the seller say it's SS? Just because everything related to SS is more expensive?

Do the numbers on the scabbard match the bayonet? The frog does not look German.$200 maybe.

[ryan]

Likely just stating SS to bring more atttention. I assume $350 US dollars is too high?

This one was sold on a well respected but expensive militaria site; its price was 405 $.
