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. Please identify and/or tell me the value of this bayonet.

    These are very common. EBay has some that are selling for $40.

    Good matching bayonets are in the price range of about $100 dollars and more for pristine conditioned ones. Repros are cheaper at around $60. Depends if you want one for show or as a collectible.
