Bill Porter: "German KCB-70 M4 Bayonet is one of the scarcer of the M1 Carbine bayonets. In 1970, the German firm of Carl Eickhorn Waffenfabrik AG (Eickhorn) in conjunction with the Dutch firm, Nederlandsche Wapen en Munitfabriet N.V. (N.W.M.) developed a new bayonet system for the U.S. Stoner assault rifle. The bayonet was copied from the Soviet wire-cutter bayonets. This bayonet was designated the KCB-70 M1.

They also made prototype bayonets for the Belgian FN-FAL (KCB-70 M2) and the H&K G3 assault rifle (KCB-70 M3). A

Prototype bayonet for FN/FAL

Very rare prototype of a KCB-70 bayonet for G3 rifle. According to Kiesling, only 30 were ever made.

The one pictured in the book of J.A. Maddox ("Collecting Bayonets", 2006) has shining finish like the early KCB70M1. This one has dull finish like the later M1, and is totally unmarked.  

Later item without NWM-logo and a different type of squirrel logo.
