Klaus P. Schad Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I was fortunate to pick up this bayonet just recently at EBAY. 1916 Bayonet, Gottlieb Hammesfahr, Solingen. Unit marked : “ST.B.14.1.94.” which stands for : Sturmbataillon 14, 1.Kompanie, Waffe 94. The scabbard is mismatched but also unit marked : “Fea. 6. 2743.” which stands for : Fliegerersatzabteilung 6, Waffe 2743. (Air Force Replacement Detachment) As far as I know there are only three more unit marked bayonets of St.Btl.14 reported. See pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Fantastic find indeed.... it seems that numbering bayonets during the war was done purely at unit initiative... and mostly smaller wartime raised units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus P. Schad Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hello Albert,, the title is Formationsgeschichte der deutschen Infanterie im ersten Weltkrieg (1914 bis 1918) by Hartwig Busche. The source of "Sturm-Bataillone" in that book originated from Hermann Cron in "Geschichte des deutschen Heeres im Weltkrieg 1914-1918" and H.R.von Stein " Die deutschen Sturm-Bataillone im Weltkrieg 1914/1918" in Zeitschrift fuer Heereskunde 1965, Seite 123. The source is mentioned as a footnote. Best regards, Klaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
