Third Reich SS Dress Bayonet

This piece, whilst at first glance is “just another bayonet” on closer inspection has crossguard stampings of an SS “Kulturzeichen” and the letter “K” indicating that this bayonet was an issue item at a “konzentrationslager” or concentration camp….
Most of the plating remains to the pommel, backstrap and crossguard with wear only to the highlights. Bright, non maker marked blade has some minor aging but no damage to the tip and no sharpening to the edges. A felt blade washer remains in place beneath the crossguard. Very minor loss of scabbard finish, no dents or other damage. The numbers “815” and “3” are stamped to the upper scabbard throat. Black leather frog is of the “cavalry style” having a transverse grip strap and is of four rivet construction. Wrapped about the frog is a portepee having leather strap with triple lines of silver stitching, silver, crochet style stem, silver crown and acorn. The base of the acorn has a plain fill with the letters SS inscribed.
