Hello Bear

This means : Manufacture d'Armes de Tulle = Weapons Factory of Tulle.

Tulle is a town in Corr?ze, French department #19, in which was settled a famous factory of weapons from the XVIIIth century up to the 90s...

Nice bayonet !

Yours

You can email to the museum of this factory at this adress : musee.armes@ville-tulle.fr

I would not garantee an answer, but you can try... :rolleyes:

I have forgotten the point, sorry.

The mention "d?cembre 1875" is probably dedicated to a special event or a special gift.

This is not a regular mention, I mean.
