I found a sawback s98/05 with luneschloss solingren on the blade. On the metal scabbard it has a crown over w. All I could find out is that its pretty rare. Any body know a price range. This one is $350 at second hand store
 
Look on the rear of the blade, by the crosspiece you will see the Crown/W emblem (Kiaser Wilhelm) plus a two digitnumber (year)...that will date the bayonet.

Solingen is the place the bayonet was made

Luneschloss is the maker's name.

Rare? Not sure.

But $360 sounds OK to me. Retail on these in the UK is around £300-350 (x 1.5 for US$) for a good original condition knife with scabbard

Always good to do a quick search on EGay to see what is out there and the sort of condition/price.

Search "German sawback" and you'll find several 98/05 bayonets ranging from around $700 downwards right now......
