Bayonet Info ?

You have a late war K98 combat bayonet with a mis-matched scabbard. Wayne is correct in that the maker was Herder und Sohn, a well known German maker. The 8521c mark on the blade is the bayonet's serial number and the 554 on the scabbard is it'serial number. Value of K98 combat blades is a tough one to guage right now, but I've seen very clean matching ones in the $250-300 range and clean mis-matched ones in the $100-150 range recently. Used to find them for $35, but those days are over.
