Just purchased a KS 98 Long Version that is an early Carl Eickhorn TM Squirrel has arms extended straight out. It is the third variation of the seven Carl Eickhorn TM's. How rare is this variation TM on a KS 98 bayonet?

I have noticed the two variations of the TM, but don't know if it is rare or not. A lot of times we will see small variations like this, sorry I couldn't more help.

Thanks for the response. IMHO as an early Eickhorn KS98 it is more rare. In the late 1920's through the early 1930's the Germans had a mandated 100,000 man Army. So the need for KS98 bayonets was less, and production figures were low.
