April 17, 20224 yr #2 Usually, it represents Deutsches Reich Patent, it seems a bit off from the font associated with these bayo's, JMO
April 18, 20224 yr #3 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?
April 18, 20224 yr #4 I may have misread my source information, Postschutz bayonets were stamped DRP with a serial number. 99% are made by P. Weyersberg
April 19, 20224 yr #5 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.
April 20, 20224 yr #7 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.

October 21, 20223 yr #9 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.
