not yet but there is 'weyersberg kirschbaum & cu(Gu) Solingen' on the blade (hard to read) and Vv 444 (also hard to read) on the part between grip and blade (dont know the english word)

If you could post a link to where it says that it would help. But there are many early German exports which are maker marked. And some exceptions like the TR era S84/98 (98K) bayonet exported to Spain that had no external markings, with those exported to Portugal having only Waffenamts (with or w/o a serial # depending on which contract). But there was no general rule that export models from Germany (that I know of) as a group were supposed to be unmarked especially in the earlier years. FP
