OK, here are the markings.
Sorry for the poor quality pics, cannot get close / sharp enough.

Top (British): Symbol that looks like a swastika (odd enough) with one leg missing and a small arrow beneath it. (the rest is damage) No further markings on any part.

Bottom: (German): 510 b and on the scabbard 6517 d No further markings on any part.




Top (British): you can see a crown and in the darker part of the blade some symbols- one says 43 or 45 and one looks like a 5 but may also be just some damage. No further markings on any part.

Bottom: (German): 42 cof and on the scabbard 44 crs No further markings on any part. Found out that 42 cof means its manufactured by Carl Eickhorn Waffenfabrik, Solingen, I presume in 1942. The scabbard was made by Paul Weyersberg und Co, Solingen I presume in 1944. (http://www.donet.com/~mconrad/bcncode.htm)
