This is not a German Made dress bayonet but will leave it here for now until one of the Bayo Gents can further identify the blade and marking and then off it goes to Bayonet and Trench knives of the World forum.

It likely is a German blade. This style is called a "Carbine" blade and is seen on early 1900's hunting knives, some KS98 bayonets and even the so called Luftwaffe Forestry knife. The maker I'm not sure of from the mark, several used a cross mark. Here's a couple examples of this carbine blade type in use. I would say Kekel's example this is from a KS98.
