Hi! I pick this one last week, I'm very impressed that it's so well made is just like the real thing, even the press button works! I have seen some of this little bayos but never saw one with a maker mark, in this case from WKC, I'm very pleased with it but not sure if it's period, does anybody know if it belongs to the 33-45 period? thanks in advance

Nacho,
I think this one is a period miniature of the KS98 by WKC.

thanks for the opinion, do you think the fact that is maker marked is unusual?

I have seen a few maker marked miniature bayonets, notably those made by SMF that are very distinctive. I suspect many of these small bayonets were not actually manufactured by the various Blanke Waffen factories but were actually made by novelty and cottage makers. They may have been wary of putting their logos on them if they were not very well made... just like the generic "Solingen" marked full size Extra-KS98.
