Gentlemen,
Here is a K98 Bayo that i have had for sometime. I don't know much about bayonets, but there is a plethora of numbers here. A 38 on the spine, which i presume is for the year. A makers mark on one ricasso and a 3218 and an e on the other side along with the mark of 45277 on the ridge. There is also a waffemampt WaA253. On the scabbard it is marked ab43 on the obverse and 2220 b on the reverse. On the catch is the scabbard is marked 45277. My pictures aren't the greatest, but perhpas you can see where these markings are, and let me know what is going on with this bayonet. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Jeremiah
