Anyone got Techet's book on bayonets?

I would need help about etching, is it okay and how rare it might be?

Thanks all in advance,

The etch looks detailed enough & consistent to be fine from what you show. Thaty said, I note that the filagree going from left to right on the top above the motto on yours touches the top border & Techet's book it does not. Yours also doesn't seem to have the "ges gesch" on the lower right toward the ricasso like the one in the book does.

Techet's book, page 227, top picture shows the same obverse etch by Klaas. The rating on the etch is "common" on a scale of common ($225-$500), scarce ($500-$700), rare ($700-$1100), very rare ($1100 & up). Hope this helps.
