Well, this is certainly no where near as breathtaking as some of the pickelhauben that I have seen, but in the world of Imperial German Bayonet collecting, it's quite a rare and exciting piece!
It has matching regimental markings P.T.K.415.A. This denotes one of the rarest German Colonial Units, the Polizei Truppe Kamerun, or Police Troop of Cameroon, Africa. This was probably the smallest Imperial German Colonial unit in Africa. But more than that, this example has composition grips, which are found on a VERY small number of KS98 examples. It is the king of the KS98 bayonet series.
A wonderful example of a very rare and interesting bayonet.
