My S71 bayonet

[Nick Hessens]

I just wanted to show her to you guys. She is a bit in a rough condition. I only need a scabbard for her. Made by ERFURT and she has regimental markings.
I hope you like her!!!

Yes the markings are very interesting. I believe the script letter L stands for a Landsturm unit, but the 'Bre' is something that I have never encountered before. Hopefully someone will shed some light on that. Cheers.

Thanks for your comment.
Does anybody know for wich regiment '2.L.Bre.2.2' stands for???

2nd Landsturm Infantery Battalion Breslau. 2nd Company. Weapon No 2.

This style of marking with the script L was introduced in 1890.

Quite an unusual marking I think.
