Ron is right that it is a private purchase Extra-Seitengewehr by Move-Werke. A very nice example of one with the original black paint finish. I would say it is definitely WWI period. Walter made quite a few odd variations for private sales during the war. Some had blades with central fullers and Herder supplied blade blanks to them during the war as well. Some of their S84/98 bayonets are similar to Mehlich examples.
