WW1 Bayonet

**WOODSNAKE** · 01-08-2012, 07:22 AM

G'day my Lovely Missus bought this for me at a local market and i wondered if any one can help me identify it, I first thought it was German but now i'm thinking Austrian.
It is in excellent condition,the scabbard is like new and the blade is un sharpened.
apart from the makers name the blade is also marked with a shield with a star in it and 3 inter linked circles with serial no- F 258 the scabbard has no numbers only a circle and cross stamped on the little pommel at the end and on the top where the blade enters.
Thanks Phill.

Thanks Didier, I read that they sent a lot to Chile and Spain after the War, what year do you think it was made? and what would you pay for something like this?
