I was given this bayonet a couple years ago and I didn’t think much of it. But recently I rubbed some rust off and discovered it has Weyersberg Kirschbaum & CO Solingen on it. I looked up the company and found out it was a German bayonet probably made around the early 1900s. I’ve found nothing else about this type specifically. Can someone tell me more about this bayonet?

I believe your (?)Bayonet was made for the 7.65mm Argentine M1891 Mauser. It is either the Bayonet Knife or Sword Bayonet but in either case, it appears that it was cut down possibly due to damage.
