German Bayonet opinions please

[kale010]

Hi Guys,

This is absolutely not my specialty, but my old man wanted to trade this bayonet for a nice award and how can I resist my dad. So here are some pictures and would love to know how and what and perhaps a value for a possible sale. And yes, he knows off course

Thanks in advance guys.

Bob

The bayonet is a post WWII yugoslav pattern M48

The stamp on the blade means:
"Preducece 44"
"44" is not the year of production, "Preducece 44" is the designation of the "state factory 44", Kragujevac, Serbia.

These seem to go pretty regularly here in the U.S. on eBay in the $25 - $40 range, unless somebody's trying to pass it off as WWII German. ( The German frog is worth as much or more than the bayonet! ) I had a really nice one I traded in part on a Japanese Arisaka rifle at a gunshow last fall.
