Cool looking, but not related to the Bismarck in any way. Fake. Etching done post war.

Saw one up for sale in the UK, they stated it was an 'original' bayonet, with later 'engraving'. Sold for over 600cdn

I had a Cooey 22 one time with AH carved in the stock. Pretty sure it was owned by Adolf Hitler.

What's is worth, seeing its a fake?

As I see these at gun shows with the same kinda etching for 800$ and up and always wondered if they were real?

In my mind worth less than an original bayonet unmarked unless engraved by a known artist. That a big pitfall with WW 2 German stuff, interest leads to higher demand leads to fraudsters. I know one reputable dealer who told me he won't even buy any WW2 German stuff because fakery is so widespread and high quality that he doesn't want to ruin his reputation selling phony stuff unknowingly.

100 percent fake.combat bayonets were never etched,chromed etc. until 1960's or 70's in england using mismatched bayonts and scabbards.still see them at gunshow's here in southern onfario and sellers are convinced they are real.
