Bayonet condition

[Dok]

Greetings all! Please tell me about the state of the bayonet. I don’t understand there is some kind of silver coating or there are traces from cleaning. Out of five points, what grade can be given?
Thank you & best regards

Looks like cleaned mechanically with burst?, the scabbard has new black paint, its the most typical S98/05nA, i would give it 3+ .

Thanks Andy, much appreciated.

Are you sure that's not silver paint on the metal parts of the hilt? Seems like a trace of paint on the wood grip. Always hard to tell in photos.

I do not exclude this option. I don't think it's worth buying this bayonet.

It looks like when there was asilver paint it was already removed, the doubble maker combination is interesting, the piece is not extra bad, should be collectable, after removing of black paint from scabbard, but always haengs on price, i would believe the range 120-150€ would be real.

The bayonet itself is interesting and not frequent. I would buy it for 200€. The problem is that the seller wants to get 350 euros for it, but I do not like the condition of the goods for that kind of money.

Yes the price range is unreal for similar piece in that condition. But prices in Russia are 2x as normal in Europe.

Yes, there are a lot of rich people in Russia who can afford it
