beat up bayonet help

[chris clark]

i have this bayonet and i think possibly german by the top shape of handel. i notice that the blood grove is the other way in that its not a grove into the blade.

i attach some pics.

the bayonet has been messed about with by someone trying to clean all the rust off with what looks like a grinder

it was free so what the hell

ok for some reason upload error on pics will try again later
