That was one WWII German 13 inch Overall Short Dress Bayonet.
A bayonet is a small knife - which can be fixed (by its handle) to the end of the barrel of a rifle - so the soldier still has an effective weapon if he runs out of bullets.
The German army had a bayonet that had a Diamond shaped emblem that was RED and WHITE with a Swastika in it. This was the symbol for the Hitler Youth. This symbol was displayed on the grip of the bayonet and on the flag for their unit. The Hitler Youth was Germany's form of Boy Scouts for young men. However, it was also used to "brain wash" the children to believe in Nazism and Hitler as their answer to their country's problems. Late in the war, the Hitler Youth were armed and sent into fight even though some were not 18 years old.I believe that is what you have. I have seen a Hitler Youth dagger or bayonet that has this symbol on it.BTW, did you see the part in the movie "Saving Private Ryan" where they kill all the GErmans after they penetrated off the beaches. One soldier held up a bayonet and said, "Hey Joe(?), here's a Hitler Youth knife" or "These were Hitler Youth". He knew that because of the symbol on the grip.
To identify a WW2 bayonet, look for markings on the blade or handle that indicate the manufacturer, country of origin, and year of production. Compare these markings to known examples or reference guides to determine the authenticity and specific model of the bayonet. Additionally, consider the design, materials, and overall condition of the bayonet to further narrow down its identification.
Yes, the Spanish Bayonet plant is toxic to humans and animals if ingested. It can cause skin irritation and digestive issues. It is recommended to handle this plant with care and keep it away from children and pets.
A Korean bayonet typically has a long, narrow blade made of steel with a handle that attaches to the rifle. It is designed for close combat and can be fixed or detachable from the firearm. The design may vary based on the manufacturer and specific model.
When identifying a World War 2 bayonet, key factors to consider include the manufacturer markings, blade shape and length, handle design, and any unique features specific to the country of origin.
From the Vietnam War rifles: M-14 & M-16; the bayonet has a steel ring on the upper hand guard and a notch cut into the rear of the handle. At the command of "Fix bayonets!" Infantrymen slide the steel ring over the flash suppresser and the notch slides into an extended piece of steel which is attached to the bottom of the rifle's barrel. The bayonet is now locked into place.
around $350.00 depending on length and handle ( aluminum or bronze) and condition of scabbard
sounds like a pre-WW1 Springfield 1903 rifle bayonet

To identify a WW1 bayonet, look for markings on the blade or handle that indicate the manufacturer, country of origin, and possibly the year of production. Compare these markings to known examples of WW1 bayonets to confirm authenticity. Additionally, consider the design and features of the bayonet, as they may be characteristic of the time period. Consulting reference books or online resources specific to WW1 bayonets can also help in identification.
Most bayonets have two things in common, a ring (circle) on the handle at the base of the blade (it fits over the barrel) and a latch of clip that fastens to the bayonet stud and secures the bayonet onto the rifle.
