    Kevin,

    That is a very common ww1 German bayonet. It is refered to a Butcher

    knife bayonet because the blade is shaped like a kitchen butcher knife.

    Here is one of mine that is the slightly more uncommon sawtooth version.

      Kevin, these were standard issues and fit Mauser rifles. Look at this link

        Officially the Seitengewehr 98/05, it was introduced in 1905. Originally intended for Pioneeer and Telegraph Troops, by 1914 and throughout the War it was found in widespread general use. There are 2 models, apart from the sawback: the S98/05aA, with long "ears" on the back side of the guard, and the nA, introduced in 1915, with shorter "ears" and a flash guard to prevent charring of the wooden grips from muzzle blast. There are, however, examples of the aA with a flashguard and vice versa. The early model has a leather scabbard with steel throat and toe cap, which was replaced by an all steel type later.See John Walter's "The German Bayonet".
