Is it true that German Fire dress bayonets (and other dress bayonets) had no serial numbers and therefore you cannot determine that a certain bayonet and a scabbard belong together ?
I want to buy one and asked about the serials matching and I got this answer.

Here is the link..

The asking price is 96 euro`s.
Is it worth the money ?
Any help is much appreciated.

You are right in most cases. A few Fire Dress bayonets had inventory numbers stamped on the cross-guard and scabbard, or blade and scabbard. In a rare case the pommel and frog. Shown below are a couple examples.

I agree with Terry, a decent conditioned short model bayonet with nice maker & distributor dual marks, $125 is fine to pay.
