Not the best pic but dated from 1913 not 1918 as I thought. I think they called them the butchers bayonet. This one is un sharpened, I believe it to be German in origin, steel is Solinger.
blade is a good 300mm long

Never underestimate the power of the darkside, let the tap flow through you.
TD, it is a German WW1 Sapper's bayonet with sawback.
Pommel is the stylised eagle which is prominent of german knives of that era. Haven't been able to confirm which rifle it's from but NATO tried to have banned ad it was believed by them that when someone was skewered, it caused more damage which apparently didnt occur as the saw back is similar to what you would find on any normal swiss army blade.

Cool thanks for that I'll leave that info on a note with it.
They had that saw backed bayonet on pawn stars and they said it was the engineers that carried it good for barbed wire or something. Worth a few bob too
I've always known it as a German bayonet from 1913, and called the Butchers bayonet but google shows lots of different styles.
Value I have no idea, just an interesting piece from our war torn past.
Also have a bayonet from an AK-47 , I'm not sure how accurate it is I only brought it for its size, but heres some pics of it
damn that's in good nic, looks basically new
Is that a repo 3D?
I'd say so to me its brand new. and never been used that's for sure, but I have over 50 Knives easy maybe 100
haven't counted them,
The AK47 job has blade of maybe 150mm does that sound right, maybe all the WW1 bayonets were too long
for modern weapons
AK47 only cost me $15 I think
I thought it was an Eagles head until recently I heard it referred to as a dove head Bayonet,
I'll get a better picture
