German bayo ideas?

[ROBB]

Hi all I tried this on German Dags ,and I thought I would try it here as well ,its coming up at a local general auction it is made by GEBR.WEYERSBERG SOLINGEM ,I am more of a tin lid man myself but I cant resist a bargain (why has the writing gone large?)so its going to go for about $200 ,I thought I would buy it and keep it for trading ,I have to say though that I dont recognise the handle,do you think its a good buy or a fair price thanks for your assistance Rob

Something Prussian around 1850-1865

Looks somewhat similiar to a Prussian M1852, but the handle is smooth.

Thanks Hauser it certainly looks like the bayonet in your attachment ,but with a smooth handle ,Rob

Hello,

The other side of the handle is not smooth. I saw such a bayonet yesterday on a militaria fair.
