There are still Waffen proofs on the pommel

The blade has been reblued post war, the removal of the makers mark also strongly suggests a post war refurbishment. The serial on the scabbard "foot" and crossguard though different, to me suggest this is a Yugoslavia "re-work". Usually they would swap the bakelite grips for wood ones, but not always. The presence of WaA proof stamps means this was not supplied to a German State Authority, like the Police or Customs. Are there any marks stamped on underside of blade spine near ricasso?

Thank you Jerry. I'm going to hang my hat on post war Yugoslavia refurbishment of Third Reich military issue bayonet, with an outside chance it's a Czech "re-work".
Nice combat frog too, is that 1941? I can't read it.

Yes it's 1941. Thanks for the information. I've had a ton of these things but never seen one like this
