This bayonet was among some family stuff. There are only a few numbers and a letter stamped on it. asw at the finger guard on one side and 5863y on the other side. It looks like it would be a good tool to stick in a pigs neck.

Any idea?

Looks like a typical Mauser bayonet although with so many variations of Mauser 98's out there it might be difficult to say which specific model it would go on.

It's a German bayonet for the k98 Mauser rifle. Should have a matching serial number on both the bayonet and the metal scabbard. On the scabbard,the number will be up near the throat,under the leather frog.

Thanks guys! Thinking it has very little value.

Did a little research and you guys are. spot on. Serial numbers do not match. Lots of blue on the blade. Seems like it is worth about 100 dollars.
