Marks on a Fichtel & Sachs Schweinfurt butcher bayonet.

I am not much of a bajo collector, so I'll be glad with any help regarding all the marks on the one I just got.
I was amazed how many marks were put on thise piece of steel.
I toke pictures from a screen that magnified the little marks, better then I could make them with my camera.Although pic's still aren't super!
And the pic's do not appear in the order I wanted to....I made a pic of the place were the mark is and then a close up of the mark, but that order got mixed up...

I'm sure they are just acceptance/proof marks Kris.
You'll even find one on the scabbard tip.........

Hey Rene,
thanks!
Makes me realize I should remove the rust (only supperficial!).
The French have a nice word for supperficial rust; "fleur de rouille", meaning like "rust blossom/flower"....... ;-)
Here is a pic showing it along with my other last sunday fleemarket finds, better then Ciney (to me!).
