    Default French Bayonet Identification

    Hey guys, I just bought this French bayonet, and I wanted to see what you guys thought of it. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to French bayonets, so I don’t really know where to look for specific details. There are makers marks(or at least, I assume they are), which read what I think are “R” and “G” respectively. Also, there are numbers on the side which are a little hard to read, but What I can make out say “6373”. I will also have pictures bellow. I assume this would go on the Lebel?
    Any help will be very appreciated!

    Thanks for that. I just wanted to know if you could tell who made it by the makers marks?
