Only marking we can see is on handle end #10503.
Total length is 16 3/4", Blade is 11 5/8".
Pretty sure leather belt frog is not as old or original.
Studied most of the "bayonets identification" charts/help out there to no success.
Was told maybe WW1 era/ and Mauser but can't find anything just like.
Will have to list it as unmarked but would like to get it to its home.
We've owned it for a long time, and have no idea. Thanks.

I think it is definitely a k98 pattern. Either early German or possibly a Yugoslav 24. Bob
Thinking it's pretty likely a bayonet to a Mauser M95. Most K98 pattern bayonets did not have a muzzle ring, and the 95s had a step turned after the front sight to accommodate the bayonet ring. Possibly a Chilean model 95.
Just listed it as unmarked, Thanks for your comments.
