How much is this German bayonet worth?

I have an old German K98 Mauser bayonet that I got last year. It doesn't have much rust and has a working button and matching metal sheath with cloth belt loop. At the base of the blade, it has markings of: "42 cvl", and on the other side: "5877". The base of the metal sheath has markings of: 8334, and on the other side: "F.W. Holler 1938". I need to know if this is worth much? One more thing, it has a blade length of 372mm and an overall length of 572mm. Could you give me a reference or resource to sell it if possible?

Well if you live near Las Vegas and go the Pawn Stars place Rick is fair and brings in professional in to verify the true cost. Love Pawn Stars.

I suggest going to multiple pawn shops, or places where they buy antiques. Compare the prices, do research.

This would depend on who you are asking...
If you asked James Keegstra, he'd probably say, "It's worth nothing!"
If you asked a European Jew during World War II , they'd probably say six million.
