While Reichspost service/combat bayonets (84/98) typically are marked internally on the blade�s ricasso. Those for organizations like the Reichsfinanzverwaltung and Reichsbahn tend to be seen externally such as on the cross guards. As has already been stated, Reichsbahndirektion is corrrct, being organized (later) into roughly 30 districts with the time period being a factor. With especially the Reichsbahn security forces having a relatively long and interesting history as they evolved thorough a very turbulent period - which I believe is most likely the reason for some of the legitimate variations in the types of Reichsbahn markings that are seen on the crossguards.
