Need some help

[Deadheadmatt]

Buddy of mine knew I had RC k98 rifle and gave me this bayonet. I know absolutely nothing about these. Was just hoping for some details, and if it is worth something, I'd like to pay him for it. Here's the pics:













Thanks

German WW2 S84-98 bayonet asw is the code for the maker - E & F Horster.

Sorry,
but that is nonsence.
"asw" is the code for Hörster, but this bayonet is a S 84/98 "commercial" or "Behördenmodell" and therefore not coded.
Typical is also that there are no WaA´s on the pommel or the scabbard.
The maker AWS with scale stands for Alexander Coppel, or Alexander-Werke-Solingen.
This bayo was for police or other government institutions.
Nice bayo, but the sharpening is very sad.

Certainly a nice Alex.Coppel Solingen AWS marked police bayonet S84/98, probably 1942/3 date, unfortunally sharpened by someone, luckily not so heavy.b.r.Andy
