Help with Austrian M1895 bayonet

[Schlange]

Hi.

I need some help with these Austrian M1895 bayonet:
Is plating (Chrome or maybe nickle?) done in Austro-Hungarian period or maybe later?
Its look brand new to me? Maybe private private purchase after WW1?

Thank you in advance

Perhaps stainless steel . in any case a privately purchased item .

I could imagine it´s a private purchase officer´s bayonet. The knot is a 1917/18 officer´s knot with a cypher "K" for "Karl I.".

Until the death of Francis Joseph I his Cypher was carried on swordknots ,cockades etc .and you can determine if the item belonged to the Austrian or Hungarian because in the Austrian the Cypher was FJ1 and in the Hungarian 1 FJ . when Kaiser Karl was crowned the monogram changed but unified in only the K .
