Can You ID this Bayonet?

[SMOKEYMOUNTAIN]

I found this is my dad's garage. I have no idea what kind of bayonet this is, but it looks like a WWII era German bayonet.

Can anyone identify this? What is it worth?

Looks like an Austrian Steyr mod.1912 mauser bayonet.

I guess I need to buy a mauser now!!! lol

Check that, not Austrian, I think it's for a Chilean mauser. Produced in Germany for their contract rifles.

Just from a quick ebay search, these bayonets are running $50-$65. YMMV.

And having the bayonet is as good a reason as any for buying the rifle to go with it
