Dress Bayonet ID and Value Help Needed

Rest In Peace
I'm not a bayonet collector but I have been offered this example and want some opinions on what it is an if it has any collector value. All I have been able to glean from searching the web is that it appears to be a dress type made by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co. There does not appear to be any serial numbers and the condition looks fair but there is no frog included. Any help identifying it and a ballpark value would be appreciated!

It looks like a steel handle, it could be WW1 piece or a early postwar piece. best regards,Andy
 
dress bayonet value

Simpson has a number of WKC dress bayonets on their website. 2 in slightly better condition than yours for $125 each and one has a frog with it. If I could get it for $75, I'd probably buy it. If not, I'd pass. Just my opinion, your milage may differ.
