This is a scarce S98/05 bayonet by Anker-Werke Bielefeld. Anthony Carter in his 'German Bayonets' book states that the models 98/02 and 98/05 bayonets by this firm are scarce and are thought to have only been made in 1917. They only carry the 2 line trademark of Anker-Werke Bielefeld with no dates, cyphers or other firm markings. There is however a number "493" stamped on the crossguard. The bayonet is in an all steel scabbard. (See German Bayonets book by Carter Page 27-30 and Page 64-65. A scarce bayonet. The price includes UK delivery. Bayo 269
