The bayonet looks like reworked and reblued, any other markings on opposite ricasso? the SS stamps and emblem are fakes.best regards,Andy

Looks that way to me also with a fake emblem as well. Is it possible the share the price and source? If not exactly, perhaps something to give a rough idea if more of these show up? Best Regards, FP

Definitely not an authentic SS marking on the ricasso. The SS did have some ricasso markings but that is not one of them.

A button glued on with black epoxy(?). Mismatched, reblued, and vise marks on top of both the bayonet pommel, and locking mechanism. Not things that I think would be considered "plusses". FP
