Some of it is a little hard to read, my initial impression being a later bayonet by WKC in 1944. The grooves in the grips and grip itself refinished probably after WWII. Best Regards, Fred
Hi there
Just about to post some clearer photos, I apologise for that as I had to quickly reel some off on my phone.

Hi there,
the metal parts of the bayonet are really beautifully preserved. Mna can say like new.
It is a bayonet from the manufacturer Weyersberg Kirchbaum & Co. Solingen from 1944.
However, I have a problem with the grips. I suspect that these are not original and the originals have been replaced by reproductions. You can buy them with these grooves:
Plaquettes de baionnettes en bois pour baionnette MAUSER K.98 type 2 | eBay
Plaquettes bois strié avec vis de baionnette Mauser 98k - Pièces détachées non classées (5954645)
Grooves do not normally belong in there, but were often added by soldiers. To the unworn condition, this fits only conditionally.
Can you remove the handles and see what's underneath? Matching numbers on the handle scales? This is the only way to clarify this question seamlessly and without a doubt.
Regards
