Hello

The marking on the crossguard is not Kriegsmarine as we could guess. It is a rework number stamped by one of the east europe countries which reissued these bayonets after the WWII.

Alain,

Thank you for that information, I was wondering why I could not find any german referance to the markings.

I think this one was used in Yugoslavia.

Rajko is right, is a yugoslavian postwar stamping, probably a inventory stamp. It have a new blueing on blade.best regards,Andy
