Hello and thank you both for your comments,
Really interesting informations about FaschinenMesser ! Thank you Ken !. For my small sword, It's strange because there is no slit in the back ( sword type ) but there is the classic hole (bayonet type )... In the hole , there is a small medal welded , like the rest of the scabbard. Maybe it's an old ''bayonet'' , ''decorated'' later ( in Greece, Balkans ? )for making it more saleable ... MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY !! Franky |

No problem
I collect German imperial bayonets and have a few of these interesting knives, there are practically endless variations as nearly every German state had different variants of knives and bayonets If you look at faschinemessers you will see most have no fullers as per your blade. Parade bayonets were also very common in late 1800s in Germany and these generally did not have any locking mechanism Nice item Regards Ken Ps happy Christmas to you and all |
