Butcher Bayonet (Sawback)

[asomotif]

have always assumed this example was issued to the Bavarian 5th Regiment, I'd like to take this opportunity to find out

Dug up this old thread again.

Norman, The big crowned "L" is from Ludwig, making is Bavarian for sure.
See this website : http://www.worldbayonets.com/Misc__P..._markings.html

5 R. : being 5th regiment sounds logical.

I will post some more pics shortly.

best regards,
