Bajonett

[Oleg]

Hi all! I would like to have advice of this forum. The maker is not beautiful. I'm not see symmetries and height of the letters is various. Is it possible sure to speak, that this production up to -45? I shall be grateful for any answers.

Hello Oleg,

This bayonet looks to be a pre-45 E. Pack & Sohne product. The trademark was applied using a die stamp. The reason the lettering is a bit off is because the stamp was tilted to the right and back when struck. This accounts for the uneven look of the trademark. It's not something you should worry about.

I would tend to agree - other than the unusually poor trademark stamping, I don't have a problem with what littel else I can see in the photo.

Could be that the trademark stamper sneezed or was just having a bad day!

Best,
Skip

Many thanks for the help!
