    Hi just wondering if someone on here could point me in the right direction please

    I've come across a possible WW1 German bayonet, and was wondering where would the best place to get is assessed or valued?

    Maybe someone on here would know what's what with them?

    I can't take pics at the moment but I'll link to a very similar one once I post this, boards.ie on phone is a nightmare right now sorry

    It's got markings of

    P. D. LÜNESCHLOSS SOLINGEN

    And then it has what I think is a crown with: V06 (?) perhaps, underneath that

    It's a straight, serrated or sawback blade. No bulge at the end

    In pretty good nick. Some surface rust, some wear to the two part wooden handle

    No scabbard with it

    Just curious about the age and maybe if there was someone/somewhere that would specialise in this era that you guys might know, cheers

    Basically identical to this one

    I said WW1 but turn of the century perhaps? I saw online that the 06 might refer to the year of manufacture so possibly 1906?

    At any rate would love to learn more if anyone could help, thanks
