Dear Hank, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal. The presented object appears to be a German WWI period bayonet made by Simon & Sohn in the city of Suhl. Suhl is since the medieval age a center for blade production. The bayonet comes without the scabbard. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 10 to 20 USD. This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, George
