The bayonet is marked with serial-number '5740' and maker marked and dated with '41 cof' indicating production by the company of 'Carl Eickhorn' from Solingen in 1941. The blade is in good condition, the bayonet is having bakelite grips. The scabberd is slightly rusted. The bayonet is in uncleaned condition as found. Nice original bayonet in good used condition!
