Nothing strange here, its mostly overproduction or remains of army contract or the piece had some tolerances problem so was used as dress type, and was nickeled, its well mashined, probably could be attached on rifle Gew98 wout problem.

You correctly note this is a "nA" version which started from 1902. The Knights head is the early WK & C logo, and the company made this bayonet version between 1903-14. Would have had a leather scabbard, which often didn't survive. Nice example.

I assume they used simplifyed WKC logo too on thiner blades, anyway exist Extra S98 with doubble head logo
S-98 nA. by WKC | Lakesidetrader
Anyway by military production went the fuller nearer to crossguard as was used the 2 line WKC/Solingen logo, so no place for larger TM probably.

The single knights head logo of this type is also seen on Imperial Navy daggers of the same era. So blade width certainly was a factor in the type of logo WK & C might use.
