Guys,

I know I've seen this discussed here before but now that I have one, I can't find the post. Note the different shaped quillion and different pommel. Also the rivets are uneven and the frog stud is narrower and more rounded on each end. No Maker mark. Is this a particular maker, just a variation of a normal dress bayo, a particular time frame or what?

Thanks, Lance

Lance,

You will generally find bayonets of this type are from the time of the Weimar Republic. Most of them are unmarked.

Thanks ORPO for that info. I was hoping to get a few more remarks and maybe some pictures of other examples. It sounds like my "benjy" was well spent!!

Thanks again, Lance
