You might have to check with the specialist bayonet collectors sites to see if the particular markings of the maker are more desireable than others, but in general the German bayonets are going up in value these days. If you want value, you might see what some of the ebay examples are bid up to. Also condition affects value. Like amount of original finish, any damages, rust or over grinding of the blade to sharpen it, etc. Bet it might be worth 75$ and up nowadays.
