Thank you so much. Its been months of searching on my own. I thought is seemed kind of cheeky for a bayonet. Seemed chromish and hastily made. My buddy will be stoked to find out what it is. I believe it was his grandfather that this belonged to. He was special forces in the European theatre of WWII and had several other very impressive pieces including an SS Walther, holster, and sword bayonet combo with the officers hat. He just bought a house and has 3 kids plus he is getting married here soon. This will be very welcome news indeed. Thanks again bud

No sweat. Like the captions say, it's somewhat scarce and just a bit valuable. Take care selling it...get the right money.

I think there is a finish of some kind added to it :-( some kind of chrome refinish. This would not have been done by the arsenal/factory right? So should I leave it as is? Or remove it. I noticed that there very small bubbles on the blade. As I wiped one it popped some of the foil like finish off, and it appears copper washed underneath. Not like blued steel. Is this copper applied to make the chrome like refinish stick?
Thank you again.

It's hard for me to tell from the pics, but it sounds like a plate has been applied. Yes, there's a binder applied before the chrome or nickel. It can be removed but usually not by the layman. The originals were in the white I think, no finish. It might best be left alone.

In that case I will not mess with the spot where it chipped. How would you say this will effect the value on the piece? Of course we have no idea when it was added or why. But should I expect to get a significant amount below higher value for this?

Value depends on time and place. The individual(s) that are bidding. One man might get it for a few dollars. Two bidding might drive the price to the moon. You can't tell until you sell it.
