Pics not so easy.What are the markings on the spine and other side of the blade, near the crossguard? This looks like a standard SG84/98-III to me, and collector value would depend on the maker marks as asked for. It's hard to tell, do the serial numbers on the blade and scabbard match?

They do match.
It looks like it may be missing the ring that fits on the barrel, unless this one came without one. However, all the ones I have seen have the ring (or whatever its called).
K98 bayonets don't have them. (Whatever they are called)
