Sadly, faked bayos are legion.
Personally, I wouldnt trust it.
Others who know more will no doubt chime in.
Maybe, some can say more about the occourrence of these, aging, font, style etc.
The inscription looks very clean and sharp hence most likely not period.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Otherwise a nice bayo, but sadly defaced by this most likely post WWII inscription made to hike up the price.
Caveat; I might of course be way off the mark....

"Gewidmet von Deinem Vater" means "Dedicated by your father"...I agree with Scout that this is a postwar addition, yet cautiously speculate this may well have been done by/for the father of a man who perhaps fell in 1941...Again, pure speculation on my part!
Bayonet is original with nice grips!
cheers, Glenn

Although the font and Gothic script are reasonably well done, with straight alignment, equal spacing etc, there are so many fakes around its hard to say, but the age does'nt look right in the etching, its very grainy, one way would be to research the name in SS records or KIA reports for that date , if they exist

As usual an in hand examination would be the best judge of authenticity...there is a diffrence between laser etch and acid etch..which a discerning eye would be able to reveal up close..under a jewelers loop.

A little research into .."Udo Dohm" would shed some light..on the bayonet..if available....on a Dienstaltersliste...or possibly an infantry soldier or made up name.
comparing the 2 letters "H"...they almost appear the same...but the name and "Kriegsjahr" appear 2 different font types. This could of been done professionally by a jeweler recently.....or.....Hmmm or during the period? Regards Larry
