It is funny how something doesn't strike a bell until later when you find out some more information. I don't know a lot about simson making WW1 bayonets, although they, along with about 20 other manufacturers made several styles of bayonets during ww1 and into the weimar era. 100,000 of thousands were made. In addition, Simson had the sole contract to refurbish and make arms for the Reichswehr through the weimar period.

This appears to be a model 98/05 bayo, made in WW1 and used throught the weimar and WW2 eras.
