The 5178K is actually S178K. S178 is the early code for maker Gebr. Heller, the K indicates it was made in 1934, the first year of rearming the German army. If it is in good condition and the markings on the scabbard match the blade, I would definitly pay $150 for it. If the marks do not match, probably not.
