Hello.
I think this might well be the source of the blade.This may also strenghten the suggestion that it is from German East Africa.Where a brilliant German Army was unbeaten and only surrendered two weeks after the armistice had been signed.It is the 1898-1905 emergency version sword bayonet, these would have been supplied unfinished, if they got past the Royal Navy.Someone might have a better picture.Tim
