WW2 German K98 Bayonet and Scabbard 1936 Markings

It is in pretty good condition.  Lots of dings on the metal back of the handle.  Much of the paint is worn off and the scabbard is dinged up too.
The  point of the blade is gone and the edge has several nicks but it still isn’t bad.
The markings are nice.  It is not matched but the easily read markings on the blade tell us it was made in 1936 by Mundlos AG Nähmaschinenfabrik, Magdeburg Nord.
the S/185  36 on the scabbard has this also made in 1936 by Elite-Diamantwerk, Siegmar-Schönau bei Chemnitz and we read somewhere that having the ’36’ stamped on the scabbard is quite uncommon but we are trying to find what web site we saw that on.
We assume it was reissued with a different serial number on the hilt.
Ebay will not allow us to ship this overseas.
