Looks perfectly fine to me. Schutzpolizei Düsseldorf, Kommando VI, Waffen 134. Love these with the v-notch pommel. Nice piece .....

I'm not sure of the unit markings but many of these pieces reworked during the Weimar and IIIR period were for the police.

A quick forum search or the Picture Reference Index section is a good place to start. As an example this thread: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/karabinerriemen-slings.1929/

I'm sorry but these assertions range from simply incorrect to absurd. My intent is not to argue, but to correct the record. Serial number blocks were 1 to 10000. Followed by 1a to 10000a. I have researched this area for some time and multiple 10000 numbered examples have been observed on...

An example of a S84/98 bayonet with serial number 10000 posted here: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/wkc-1940-10000c.65937/

Additional photos ....

There has been some discussion of serial numbering ranges in a thread or two here on the forum. Regarding numbering blocks as far as ranges running to either 9999 or 10000. German serial numbers were assigned in blocks of 10000 NOT 9999. This applies to rifles, pistols, machineguns, bayonets...

@Stephan98k, Thank you very much for this detailed information. Much appreciated!

Love this. One of the hardest fighting and sadly, most overlooked divisions in the ETO ......

Agreed. The point I was trying to make when I mentioned "trigger discipline" in post #98 ....

I like the trigger discipline ......

Very nice! Do you have the barrel code?

The 0000 piece is in this post regarding refurbished bayonets. It is discussed starting with Post #12. As stated in a previous post it is not standard production. I don't think I have ever posted the 10,000 numbered example...

Nice original bayonet and yes, you have the maker correctly identified. It is an issue piece for the Wehrmacht and could have been part of a contract for almost any branch. At some point the grips scales have been removed and the bolts and spanners incorrectly seated. Note how the spanners...

Yeah, that's a mess alright. My biggest pet peeve is people who include their feet and shoes in the pics .....

The image/file has been removed from the OP at the request of the compiler/owner.

There is no accurate source for this information short of personal research and data collection. Original records from the producers are essentially nonexistent. Collecting serial number data for each maker during each year of production is about the only option and some researchers have spent...

There is no published chart for S84/98 production 1934 to 1937 that I am aware of. Nothing of this nature is included in the Steves/Karem Karabiner K98k series. Bruce's earlier book The S84/98 German Bayonet" Vol. 1 1908-1933 does not address this area either as it is off-topic. Several...

Not for me, today or any other day for that matter .....

Outstanding! Many thanks Andrej!
