Help Identifying bayonet(M98?) & Helmet

[sTraTz]

So I have a bayonet/dagger and a military helmet that I was given by my Grandfather before he passed away. My Grandfather was in WW2 & his father in WW1.

The bayonet is marked: C.G. Haenel (on the blade) and 17.A.F.2.20 on the hand guard.
Google pops up with it being a German M98 Mauser butchers bayonet. If it is, it looks to be quite valuable.

I don't notice any markings on the helmet, but It appears to be British from WW1.

See pictures below.
Any info on these are much appreciated.

Thanks, any idea of the value of the bayonet? It looks like anywhere from $100-1500?

Your bayonnet is a reworked S98/05, most likely for Weimar forces, the ears are ground down with replaced grip screw bolts retaining the original grip plates with nine grooves and what looks like a slotted button, Imperial unit marks left intact. The bayonnet is to short for a butchers bayonnet and lacks proper curvature. What makes these German bayonnets more valuable is matched scabbards, in a butchers bayonnet for example the sawback variation is more desirable.

Proper value is subjective at best but 150 would be in the proper range as your bayonnet has been reblued and reworked. If you could somehow extract 1500 for this bayonnet we'd all be rich men, so in short google is out to lunch on values.

Forgot to mention that the blade and scabbard was also shortened during the rework from the original M-98 configuration. This affects value but was still an legitimate rework of the time period.

Really appreciate the info, thanks! Probably a good thing that it is not worth too much, as I won't be tempted to sell it now. I now just need to figure out how my grandfather obtained it.
