Think it’s a WW2 German Dress Bayonet. I searched using your bayonet thought and it had red in a slot on the side. Pics from the search match it. Thanks!
Glad to help!! Keep CW in mind!! Great spot to show

Hitler Youth Knife. Being the blade is unetched and the handle does not have the inset it was made post WW2. After WW2 there were thousands of these knives made as Boy Scout knices
German dress bayonet. Probably police or fireman. Youth knives were not made to fit on rifles. If it doesn't have maker's mark & (usually) Solingen, it throws year into unknown. I read that German knife makers made knives such as dress daggers for awhile after the surrender to sell to Allied soldiers for souvenirs.
