    Solingen Pioneer Sword/bayonet?


    Recommended Posts

    It's a Faschinenmesser, i.e. brush cutting knife. I couldn't find it in the 2 reference books I have. Could be an export item. Could you show the other side of the scabbard?

    The loop rather than a stud is more typical of French sidearms. It went through a slot in the frog and a leather strap was passed through it. Hope my funky drawing explains.

    The leather scabbard and scroll quillons are an earlier style than WWI.

    Thats about all the info I can give you. Maybe the folks over at Old Swords.Com can help.
