As most of you know I love unusual or rare TM's or distributor marks. Lets see some of your unusual marks. This bayonet is in only good- condition but the TM is unusual and rare.

You have seen this one before.. an Eickhorn triple oval.
Carter shows this mark as being found on export bayonets.

Gents, Thanks for sharing these great rare marks, nice! John, saw one of these triple-oval blades on my way home from the Max. It was in such miserable shape that I let it pass, but it immediately brought your nice example to mind. Terry, that Pumeto is really super, first time I've ever heard of or seen that logo. Outstanding!! Best! Bill

Both variations of Terry's "PUMETO" TM are shown in Fisher's Ref. as being used by Lauterjung & Sohn, PUMA-WERK.

Terry: Not sure what you mean, but Lauterjung & Sohn changed their name to Puma-Werk and produced knives with the PUMA logo (RZM M7/27). Similar to Lauterjung & Co. which became Tiger-Werk and used the TIGER logo (M7/68).

Don Your reply made me re-read Anthony Carters book (The sword and Knife makers of Germany 1850-2000). It includes the brandnames Lauterjung used.I quote " Brandnames :Puma, Capri, Caprilo, Gnat, Katzenb�r(bearcat),My Darling, Pluma, Puma High Class, Pumetto, Tuna, Razor King, Shaver King." end quote. So what is the difference between a brand name and a TM. answer from the internet-- Brand Names Defined The Blackcoffee website article, "Creating a Brand Name," states that brand names are signals that carry meaning in the minds of consumers. A brand name should be memorable so that it carries a favorable image of your business in the minds of customers you wish to attract. When people see or hear the words "Kentucky Fried Chicken" or "Wal-Mart," they immediately know what those brands stand for. These brand names are also trademarks of these companies. Trademark Definition The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office defines a trademark as words, names, symbols and product design features that are used to distinguish the products or services of one manufacturer or seller from another. Trademark History The protection of trademarks in the United States dates to 1788, when they were recognized as legal property. In 1905, trademarks were further protected under interstate commerce provisions. Lanham Act The Lanham Act, enacted in 1946, allows companies to sue if they believe a competitor has infringed on a trademark. The law also provides protection to trademark owners from competitors that offer similar or confusing trademarks in an attempt to gain market share. Trademark registration in the United States can be used as a basis for obtaining registration in foreign countries. Firms can filed that registration with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods. Trademark Facts Many famous trademarks that started out as unregistered brand names. As sales for these brands grew, the parent companies registered these names as trademarks. FindLaw lists brands that are still around today, and the date they were registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Some examples include Coca-Cola, which was registered as a "nutrient or tonic beverage" in 1893. Ford's trademark for "explosive-engines and their parts" was registered in 1909. So my Pumeto bayonet is a brand name not a Trade mark. Are we all confused. I have also attached a photo of my Puma-Werk bayonet. As you can see it has bolts and spanner nuts like E. Pack with one exception. The bolts can only be inserted from the reverse side of the bayonet.

Yea me to
So it boils down to (in my opinion) Pumeto was a brand name that wasn't registered as a TM.

In Fisher, there is a whole series of Brand Names that were used by Puma, including Pumeto and Pumetto.

Terry,
I have seen two of these early PC swords with this particular marking of the urn of flowers within an oval over "BARON". It seems they used this particular die stamp for these export swords and both etched and stamped markings for other domestic weapons. I have also seen the etched diamond shaped mark on an SA dagger.

I haven't seen one like you have shown during my years of collecting. I do have it in my list of distributors. I was given the name from a fellow collector. Does your bayonet have stag grips.

Serge The Spitzer is fairly common TM it came in two variations (see attached photo. The stag grips on your Spitzer adds a great deal to the value. Nacho After seeing your Uniformen-Wendt I got on line and found one for my collection. Your stag grip version very nice.

Is this a period TM or ??????? I noticed it is in A. Carters book The Sword and Knife Makers of Germany 1850-2000. It is pictured on page 200 of Vol 1. I can't find it in the text when that TM was used but I always assumed it was post war. Has anyone seen this one before?

Terry:
Fisher's book states that this TM is post war, which is what I owuld have guessed anyway from seeing the use of the word 'Germany' in the TM.

A Arthur Evertz Solingen TM isn't rare, but this version is not often seen on a dress bayonet. This one I believe dates around 1938. This one has a single etch.

Gents, Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to all of you who've posted your fine bayonets. Rare makers, rare patterns and all top-quality hardware. A great opportunity to check out some first class sidearms ... Best! Bill

Is the HK marked bayonet a TM or a Distributor mark? There has been speculation on who made these bayonets. I have a couple ideas on this mark. 1. Heinrick Klein--made razor blades under brand names CHRONIK, HK, and HEARTCROWN. 2. Hugo Klein--cutlery, scissors 3. Heinrich Kieffer-- TM HK beneath a mural crown within a double-line oval cartouche and many other TM's which used HK in the mark. 4. Hugo Kind--scissors Heinrick Klein did use HK as a brand name and Heinrich Kieffer used HK in many of ther TM's

Hey Billy In the below thread you show a Voos bayonet TM on the obverse side and a Genschow Distributor on the reverse. I always thought distributors as small companys but Genschow was very large. I have never seen a Geco with a Voos TM. I didn't realize at the time of your posting that both marks were on the same bayonet. This has to be one rare bayonet. http://phpstack-500133-1583587.cloudwaysapps.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=231819&page=3

Stingray posted a photo of a Rich. Pl�macher bayonet on a separate tread that I hadn't seen before. Billy G. responded I QUOTE " Two firsts for me, first time seeing this logo ever & first time seeing Plumacher on a fire bayonet. Very nice piece, good luck to whoever was lucky enough to snag it. I have the mark Terry shows on a standard KS98 but was just holding it for when a decent fire example came along, guess I'll keep waiting."

I love that TM. You are right, In my opinion it is a rare TM. I have one on a short bladed bayonet. Thanks for posting.
Anyone else have one to share.
