They certainly are a solid piece of metal - I have a model 1871 from the same manufacturer - mine is marked B.A.XIX.13. on the crossguard and 53.R.R.15.49 on the scabbard. An excellent reference site is here Das Infanterie-Seitengewehr M /1871 .

Hi Terry , thanks for that link , it is great it is one of my favourite bayos ,

Al,
Some pics of mine to keep the thread going - the manufacture date has been machined off and B.A. (depot) markings applied to the crossguard - has anyone seen anything similar?
Thanks Terry
Hi Terry , nice to see your bayo , it`s super I have know idea why the date stamp would have been removed from the blade spine ! strange ,
cheers Al
This has always been one of my favorites... A beautiful bayonet it is!
