Hello, this is a typical mark of the Kriegsmarine from the time until about 1940. The O stands for Marine Station Baltic Sea.
Interestingly, I probably own his Brunder with the mark O 139 22k

At frogs with KM marking, only the bag has been proven to belong to the Navy.
Otherwise there are markings with slight differences. General means N - naval station of the North Sea and O - naval station of the East.
A very nice example Sleepwalker. Certainly the 1938 KM bayonets are what we usually see. Numerically the KM was a small branch of military, possibly it's bayonet inventory requirements were largely met by the 1938 production issue.
Hi Weller
Sorry but I'm afraid this one is not a Kriegsmarine K98 bayonet. All Kriegsmarine K98 bayonets (Ostsee & Nordsee) has a stamp on Crosspiece (English) Parierstange (German) and I don't see any stamps on this SG 84/98 III bayonet. But the frog is a Kriegsmarine .. All KM bayonets has a stamp on crosspiece, that either starts with an O (Ostsee) or N (Nordsee) and then a punctuation, then comes 5 numbers and eventually a K but not all have a letter K at the end.
WOW! a real beautiful KM. OST. SEE marked one, a real gem.
