Due to the fact that WEYERSBERG obviously did have the sole contract for leader�s daggers I would assume that the first run for bayonets also was done by them and the ALCOSO company started later. It is to mention that they (WEYERSBERG) also did the run on combat bajonets. I do own also a combat bajonet by WEYERSBERG, sorry I have it not by hands and don�t remember what number it bears.
But all only an assumption.
All I can say is that my ALCOSO walk out bayonet has the 1xxx digit number, therefore would/does also not conform with Wheeler�s book.
I find it additionally interesting that there seems also be no strict rule if the DRP marking is above or beneath the number stamping.
Thank you all for contributing, I hope there are some more to be seen. No one more with full rig with troddel???
Regards,
