Kalvin,

I would say a bayonet with such a stiletto blade would be worth more than a standard 13" cut down variety, strictly based on rarity. Short bladed bayonets are far scarcer than the cut down type, and of short bladed bayonets, the stiletto blade is scarcer still since only WKC and Henckels made them. A nice variation and a beautiful piece to behold even without the grip emblem.

Here's a picture of my WKC. The maker mark is identical to yours, under the clamshell. The only thing I added (not in this picture) was a nice Polizei NCO knot.

Denny,

Great piece, you've done it again. And here I'm thinking the police pieces were safe from your clutches. I think I have to start collecitng Heer dress pieces to even the score Smile
