Unit marked Bayonets....

Left, marked 1.P.2.35 (the 2 is upside down) (This one was frowned on some time ago here on the forum, but I am still pretty sure the stamps are period.

Right, a classic KS piece.

Chris,

Maybe they didn't have a "Z" (Zug) and had to use the upside-down "2" in its place.

Hmmm... possible, but wouldnt it be 1 komp Pionier Battalion 2, 35th weapon?

1. Pionier Zug 35 would be unusual ?

[Chip]

Chris,

You are assuming that the pioneer units in the colonies were set up like those in the continental army. I think the units were much smaller than battalions.
