Mauser Bayonet ID help?

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Are there any markings on the crossguard?

Four digit serial number only.
Haven't tried to fit it to the 98A yet but it should fit by the looks of it. It will have to do until I can find a Polish bayo at a cost not requiring a morgage.

Not a serial number, its an accountability number.

It will fit the Kar98a though they were rarely fitted to them. Those that were had to have a flash guard fitted - very rare on an Sg98 like this. But then you don't intend on shooting with the bayonet fitted so you won't blow the grips off.

By the "flash guard" do you mean the flat metal piece across the top of the grips present on the unmodified long bayos?
