I have a question on the second bayonet pictured below. The top bayonet is a standard TR Alcoso bayonet. The one below it is a Hugo Köller bayonet. If you look at the top of the pommel you will notice it doesn't have the normal notch. I have noticed Weimar period bayonets with this same feature. Also the cross guard is thin compared to the normal TR bayonets. What do you think

Terry,
I've noticed the same lack of a notch on some Weimar era pieces as well. The rivet placement on the grip plates is unusual too.

Terry,
Here is another with the same treatment at the top of the pommel. This one is unmarked but has an angular cut pommel and a thin guard as well. Also, notice that it has screwbolts. I believe these to be Weimar period bayonets.
