Hi Everyone,
Spanking brand new member. I hope i'm posting in the right place.
My husband and I have been trying to get more information on the etched German dress bayonet his father brought back as a war souvenir.

We've had the bayonet since 2002 when my FIL died. My husband recalled playing with it as a child, and given that i think its in pretty good condition. I measured the blade, its 25CM long- FIL's story was that he removed it off a prisoner, who was an SS officer (we have no way to verify that)- I cleaned the blade with water before taking the photos- I don't see a makers mark on it. Taking photos was hard, especially on the etching. Hoping the photos are clear enough. Any info or sources that we can be pointed toward to ID it would be great. I tried to get the photos to come up on the post, and they wont... hopefully people will be able to see them.
And Thank you for your help..
