Can anyone identify the marks on this blade?

All I have is this one picture. German dress bayonet.

[Gwar]

Usually, it represents Deutsches Reich Patent, it seems a bit off from the font associated with these bayo's, JMO

[SARGE]

These property markings are for the "Deutsche Reichs Post" on your KS98 bayonet.  These sidearms were for wear by the German Postal Police and are fairly scarce.  Who is the maker?

I may have misread my source information, Postschutz bayonets were stamped DRP with a serial number. 99% are made by P. Weyersberg

[SARGE]

Yes, this the proper long oval marking for Weyersberg.  These DRP KS98 were also made by Alcoso.  The service issue S84/98 for the Reichspost were also made by Weyersberg.

The bayonet I posted looks like PRP.

 

Anyone know anything about that ?

[SARGE]

Preppy Picker,

 

The bayonet marking (PRP) you show is strangely marked.  The block letter "DRP" marking that Gewar shows is the normal marking for these Postschutz KS98 bayonets.  I don't know what the bayonet marking that you show might represent but it is not the normal Reichspost marking.

DRP should all be struck together as in Gwar's post, not individually.  In this case I would be very suspect of the "PRD" marking.

This ship sailed without me back in March but thank you for your observations.
