Lou, Not a military pattern that comes to mind some more photos might help, with the first a better one of the TM to try and get an estimate of the time period. With the crest on the basket seeming to be an animal like a cat with its mouth open? Does the blade have the same thing or is it more of a generic type etch? Best Regards, Fred

If that is a foxhead on the clamshell then it might be Braunschweiger, my hirschfängers from this state have a foxhead theme.
