Polish bayonet used by Kreigsmarine

[helmetbuyers]

Here's an odd bayonet I bought recently.

The frog has KM markings. It appears to be a 1939 Polish bayonet re-issued to the KM?

Thanks for any comments... Robert

Polish bayonet

The bayonet was used by the Germans as indicated by the waffenamt marking on the blade. The scabbard and frog are Kriegsmarine issue. The Kriegsmarine did use this type of bayonet. I think that it would only be speculation on whether the bayonet and scabbard have been together since WW2. I have seen another where only the scabbard had Kriegsmarine markings.
