Hi,

Please what do you think about this parade Mauser bayonet?
Thank you very much for help!
best regards from France

A standard 20cm blade KS98 "parade" bayonet by Richard Herder, in fair/average condition.

As for the etching, which most of the potential value may be tied up, I don't like it. I see rough edges along borders and poor alignment of the etching at the "bookends". Better photos would help but I think we can see enough to call this a post WW2 etching.
