I’d recommend just holding on to it, better to just keep those kinds of things then to get over to the government or a museum where it’ll be seen by no one and sit on a shelf more then likely

Maybe you can clean it up [and sell it](https://johnsonreferencebooks.com/product/long-dress-bayonet-w-single-etched-blade-29112/)😂

He should keep it. Dont many EU countries have laws that if you're trying to sell something you have to bring it to a museum/relevant artifact authority to determine if they want to keep it first?

I don’t know. Not sure who would buy something rusted out that bad when there are pretty good ones out their, a broke Nazi I guess.

They sell, some people like the dug look. Would probably sell in the $30 range at a show.

Careful, the way I got downvoted I think some people might be sensitive about their rusty Nazi memorabilia 😂

I own a Soviet gas mask. Does that make me a Communist? Owning "Nazi memorabilia" and being a Nazi are totally different things. When you come to understand that, maybe then you'll understand why you got down voted...

Depends on the place, here in Finland if it's more than like 100 years old it's basically government property iirc. Everything that's newer is fair game.

Yeah so I suggest OP look up the local laws and if he really wants it he should be careful to not snitch himself away lol

SawbackBayonet@reddit

Ks98 style dress bayonet, hard to determine age because of condition as this general style was made pre WWI through WWII. Could also be a ks98 bayonet as they were the style most were based on but I don't think it has a sawback and the dress bayonets are more common.

WW2 German K98 dress bayonet. The combat bayonets don’t have the eagle beak pommel.
