Rossi my etched is a little different then yours .yours is not showing the full etching. I will post mine later to compare. Gary

Etched bayonets are so difficult to discern, looking at the behind a computer screen. I have seen plenty of these in hand both good and bad..and very discernible. Yet when both good and bad are posted and placed on the computer screen..they all look the same. I can not make a comment on the etch.
Comparisons of similar producer types is a good start. Regards Larry

Larry what do you think about the scroll only being on one side

With the enormous output of etched bayonets from out of Britain in the 1990's, personally, I will only consider pieces with absolute provenances. The way that the right hand framing edge crosses the fuller groove in the 6th photo is not reassuring on this one. One would think that an old and famous for quality firm such as Eickhorn would not produce an etch that looks to be off-centered.

Hi RH....IMO I have only seen them on the cross guard facing down..and point facing to the left..which is the way the bayonet sits inside the scabbard..with blade facing out, being presented that way..BUT...Gents like Jim P. ,, Timothy Fred..Sleepwalker would be more qualified to give a more precise answer. My thoughts were just observations of the authentic types, I had seen in hand. Regards Larry

This is going to be a tough one and will take more time than I have available this morning before work. At 1st glance it shows lots of good detail, but there are a few things I'm unsure about, like the squared of book end instead of the fleur de lis style point. I'll have more time tonight to really study and research it.
As we've all talked about before, I believe all things etched can be pretty convincingly reproduced. So, without rock solid provenance, who could ever be 100% certain of originality.

Rossi I have the long bayonet will post latter.

my advice is if you like it and the price is right get it.but treat them all as copies.
