Thoughts on this sawback "butcher" bayonet.

Thinking of listing this bayonet and looking for fair market value & opinions first. I think the stamp is 1937..?? Thanks for the help.

The piece could be a turkish delivery where it was shortened, i dont known about using sawback pieces in Reichswehr postwar, the frog is a german one maybe for a S84/98 bayonet, but the knob on scabbard speaks for turkish rework. It would be better made photos on daylight wout flash on one color background. Question is the lenght of blade - 250mm?

Blade length is 9 5/8's

Typical to 10inch is turkish shortage. 245mm is normal by them.

Fair market value... 150???

I dont known prices in USA, by turkish reworks it should be max around 100, plus german frog.
