UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons The BCN Bayonet Forum S84/98 Bayonet - plated with black grips

I picked this up recently and think it's pretty interesting. It's an S84/98 style bayonet that's been plated and the grips painted or stained black. The only mark is on the finial of the painted scabbard. The frog has been on there a long time, it has shrunken and it wouldn't be possible to remove it without damaging it. The press stud looks like it's from a dress bayonet, it isn't slotted and it's not a perfect fit but it does sit flush. I've seen standard combat bayonets that have been plated post war, but I think this is a period piece.

Is it possible to tell the maker from the scabbard mark? I'd love to learn more about it if anyone has information to share. - Thanks
