It is a S98/05 from the time of the Weimar Republic. While it was made during WWI it has been reworked by blueing it after 1919.

AndyB Thanks for your answer, forgive my ignorance, but do you know if the Grip panels of this bayonet are wood or a type of plastic? In the images of the seller ... I can not see well.

Yes a sawback-removed bayonet. This could have been done in 1918 by order of the Prussians and Bavarians or it could have been done after the war when it was blued.
