I just picked up a mint condition S24(T) manufactured by Brunn Waffenwerke in 1943. The bayonet is serial numbered 5128 over a lowercase letter suffix 'a' in the obverse ricasso, with a German code of 'dot' stamped on the other side of the ricasso. The blade spine is stamped '43'. The scabbard is stamped 'dot 43'. Both the pommel and the scabbard lug are Eagle 63 stamped. The dark, rich blueing would be 100% if not for the drag marks from taking the blade in and out of the scabbard. The only thing unusual, in my opinion, about this bayonet, is that the throat piece is not reversed in the German fashion. See the pictures below.....

A very nice condition bayonet and frog  . From the factory the mouthpieces were inverted as compared to the 98K bayonet. It's only with some of the converted CZ bayonets that the mouthpiece is oriented the same as the 98K. PS: My compliments also on your photography . FP
