    The one I already had is manufactured by Fiskars and is marked on the blade. Also has a serial number on the top of the tang and a cleaning hole. It has a sharpened edge and ground screws. All blued at one time but now worn.

    The one I got yesterday is probably a Hackman but not marked as such. It is a home guard bayonet with the -(KE)- inspectors mark and ground rivets. Bright finish with possible exception of release button. Two digit rifle number on end of pommel. S and region number on bottom of tang. No cleaning hole.

    As for flea market unicorn, this is the only Finnishicon bayonet I've ever seen for sale outside of ebay so probably an apt description. Marked at $65 I had a hard time believing it was a Finnish bayonet as this was being sold by a "bayonet guy". My gut told me that is what it was but I did ask the fellow and he said, "Oh, that's a Finnish bayonet". I offered $50 and he accepted without hesitation.
