Great video

From Ireland great video

Very cool, sadly not many pay attention to obscure swords anymore. Any chance you could do an Austro-Hungarian list?

Habe einz,esist 1861 und S.B. gestempelt Seebattalion? & ander Scheide am Hangehaken M. W. D. Mariene Werft Divison ?. ?

Großartige Arbeit!

Thanks for the information! I have a Prussian-captured French Chassepot bayonet with a unit marking stamped onto the guard, it reads: 88.L.II.4.233. What do you think the Roman numeral “II” stood for?

I've been looking all over for one of these bayonets. No idea why these bayonets are so hard to come by at a decent price, especially in comparison to similar bayonets like the Chassepot

I have one of these with the proof marks and a manufacturer mark but no property mark. Is it a never issued one?

i always wondered why the fear of the sawback bayonet, the saw really makes it a worse weapon because it limits penetration when thrusting

The one that I prefer is the M1889 because it has a very good hand guard and a stiff pipe back blade. This is exclent for the thrust and cut. It is a heavy blade but nimble in the hand. I love it.

I have one with a saw back and v notched demilitarized lock for police use because of the Versailles Treaty

do you know if the dress bayonets are ok to mount on a rifle and fire? the grip fittings appears to be non metallic

I have the WKC knights helm marking on mine . My uncle brought it back from WW2 . I would like to remove some of the rusty area's between the handles . Any sugestion's ?

A few years back I acquired a couple of sawbacks cut down fòr Turkey ,I belive ,a waist of lovely German blades ,Sarco waz selling them ,but I do love sawbacks....Jim

I lòve saw backs ,I have five 98/05 s, at this time ,what I looking for is a 98/02 ,now .Also I have six other sawbacks, Swiss, firemans, etc. LOVE SAWBACKS....

Hi Vincent, thank you for all your videos to date! I have a Bavarian Kar71 marked with 2.R.C. Would be great to find out what the C denotes. I'm also looking at a hirschfanger bayonet marked with G.S.E, so would that be Guard Schutzen Ersatz? Much appreciated!

B.6.R 4.2 1909 Amberg Kar 98az. Help a brother out if ya have any information! Appreciate the videos also.

The same modell was used by the Argentinian Cavalery Grenadiers during The independence wars against Spain. Maby manufactured after The modell from English soldiers after The 2 frustrated invasions atemt to Buenos Aires.

Any idea where to get a scabbard? Mine is missing.

Thanks Vincent, most helpful but as you say, lots of variants...I have a sword marked 2.J.R.P.1.75 with 175 stamped on the inside of the scabbard. It had a previous mark peened out. Otto Mertens Solingen dated 97. Any help appreciated. Seems to be Kav. Style? David

Hello Vincent. My 1871 is marked 30.L.I.1.223. I believe the L is Landwehr but can you help with the rest please?

This is a great video. I was able to classify a new pattern 1912 marking with this video. Thank you.

I have a sawback and model 71 mauser cal. 11mm tha it slides on too nicely and the metal scabbard has the imperial cross and maker is jh becker

Helle. I have a german bayonet with some markings on it. Is there ant way for you to tell me what they mean? Its stamped RLM.

didn’t saw toothed blades get banned by the geneva convention somtime during the war or something ?

Thank you very informative keep up the good work

I just acquired one. No saw back. It’s not marked on the blade, but it looks like somebody engraved: B. 11. (B or R), E1. 961. On the cross guard. Steel sheath. The scoring on the new modification is noticeable. The ears are very small, looks worn or filed down.

Argentine Mauser 09 is beautiful bayonet and Brazilian Mauser 08 is also nice bayonet is manufactured at Solingen and it is used during ceremonial bayonet during Brazilian military 🪖 Academy graduation

Hello, great to find the channel. I just got one that looks very similar, handle seems to be exactly the same, but it has a quilion that curves towards the blade, and from the makes marks, I am thinking Kaiser Wilhelm I era. I just uploaded a video of it, if you would take a look and help me learn more about it, I would be very grateful!

Hello friend, I am Cuban and apparently I have a German m98/05 bayonet. I would like to send you a photo so you can tell me if it is real.

Hey man, love your videos! I watch them a lot since I started collecting prussian swords and sabers. I have a question about an M1852 saber I just picked up. It has this regiment number: 11.A.F.4.H.48. Do you know what the ‘H’ stands for in this sequence? There is also an older marking readable: L.2.55. 2 other ones are completely illegible. Thanks and keep making videos! Looking forward to seeing more in depth videos about swords and sabers in particular ;)

Good morning. Thanks for this very informative video. I have a new pattern sabre from 1911 with a damaged P guard that I'm considering altering. I was wondering if the P guard is high carbon or mild steel? Also...If I remove the P section of the guard...will the hilt section remain tight? Or does the P bar spring load the handle keeping everything tight? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!

How about I.M.I.3.98?

Are these post Imperial knot rules? For WWI and before, isn't it only the bayonet knots that vary by batallion/company? IE, a Prussian officer would have the same sword knot no matter which unit (ie, the long strap beign black and white striped, the slide being black and white weave, the crown and tassel being white and the inside of the tassel black?)

Love ur content.i have a WW2 German Wehrmacht belt buckle with leather tab and it's unit marked the mark is. 3./K.R/17.I any help is appreciated!

from C&Rsenal, instantly subbed, thank you for great videos

Tnx very much. Because of your work I can identify my 71/98 bayonet

Are these bayonets the same as those that the British called the 'butchers blade'?

Hallo, ich hoffe dir geht es gut. Danke für deine großartigen Videos. Ich habe vor kurzem ein M1898/05 Seitengewehr gefunden und ich finde einfach nichts über die Truppenstempel heraus.. O.P.M. 184 Weisst du vielleicht welche Einheit das war? LG!

I have one from 1907 I believe and looks like the one in the middle

Excellent work!

Thank you for the video, I hope you return to making videos. Your content is world class 👏

I have one, the maker stamp is Koppel? No saw teeth, leather and steel sheath.. I love it. Just like to one on top of screen at end of video. I might modify it.

I have a seitengewhere 1871 with the totenschtempe G. E(cursive). F. 2. 58 and I was wondering if it’s the staff of the Fuhrpark Kolonne 2nd company

Dude fighting in world war 1 would have been scary asf

... AUSGEZEICHNET!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi. I’ve got Mauser 72/84 too. But plate is little a pitted but there is K.A.R. and under that R. 442. - would it be kaiser alexander garde-grenadier-regiment nr. 1 reserve, weapon nr 442??

Hello... can I submit to you photos of my bayonet? Perhaps you can advise me of any comments. Thank you. I belive it is a WW1 kirschbaum.
