Bayonet Info?

This knife was passed down through the family to me. Never thought to find out about it, until now. It's from 1943 from the back of the scabbard. Not sure who made it or anything else about the markings for that matter. Any info will be appreciated, as always!

There is a possible makers mark at the end of the handle.

Pictures to follow.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks MillersBro's

Did a little research and found out that it is #'s matching. The maker (Carl Eickhorn, Solingen) is supposedly rare? However after seeing a line list of makers via Wiki it seems that all of them would have been rare, since there's probably close to a hundred.

Thanks again.
