K98 No Maker Seeking Info

[ladknives]

I recently got this K98 Bayonet. Im curious who made it. It has no tangstamp or numbers. There is a T and another mark that I can not make out on the tang under the grips. I have heard that these K98s with no markings can be special in some way but I can not remember the details. I would love to know who made it and what its worth. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I uploaded pics to flicker because I still can not figure out how to attach them

The bayonet is most likely a blanko or commerzial production without maker markings, most likely made in 1942-43 from finish of blade, unfortunally the blade was sharpened which lowered the value, it could be used by police units.

Appears to have been made by E & F Hörster circa 1943 o4 1944. If you remove the flashguard there should be a stick wing Eagle WaA519 stamped to the spine below the mortise slot. Sometimes you can see part of the WaA marking under the top of the flashguard, other times it is completely hidden.
