I have never seen, nor heard of a Völker 84/98. The only blades I have seen were SA daggers - and then with a different logo as shown below from Fisher's book. I can't say that I have ever seen an engraved maker's mark like yours. What are your thoughts on it, Ryan?

I probably should have taken a chance on this one just to see it in hand, but its not mine. The engraved makers mark is certainly a red flag, but the unusual construction is odd enough to make me wonder if it is a legitimate piece, possibly post-war? It clearly cannot be a combat bayonet, so what else could it be but a dress bayonet?

JMO, but my gut feeling is that I wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft. pole. I've heard comments about 84/98 bayonets being reproduced and to me, this one looks to be a good candidate! It'll be interesting to see if others show up. Thanks for posting the pics...
