I’m not an expert but I would say that most things early can be a little more collectible but it also is a matter of condition and the maker of the item.
It looks as if the bayonet has been sharpened from the images, that would affect value. Also I would give some more photos of the whole bayonet in the frog. From what I see it is in relatively good condition but wait for some more opinions.

A "K" coded S84/98 indicates 1934 and the first year of Third Reich production. These K coded bayonets are less common being the first year, and quite desirable if matching numbers. This one unfortunately appears sharpened, which will effect value. One spanner screw is incorrect.

Hello,
yes, a side rifle 84/98 (there was never a bayonet 98k).
Year of manufacture is 1934. S / 155 = E&F Hörster Solingen.
Scabbard and bayonet have the same number.
Unfortunately, the blade was sharpened. Big minus ...
The frog is a bad copy. Not original.

Thanks for the info... was leaning towards the frog being a repo... looked too clean to be an original.
Yes, it’s too bad about the blade being sharpened, however, I’m at least glad it wasn’t a hack job. If it was in a tool box then I assume the previous owner sharpened it. It’s in pretty good shape and I’m happy with it for less than $100.00

I think you did OK for the money.

Same opinion as SW, for sharpened and possible reblued blade bayonet is 100 too much probably, the frog is mostly russian copy.
