Butcher Bayonet (Sawback)

[celtan]

Older "surplus" blade in a "new" mount...?

I have seen Charles III 18th C blades in 19th C swords...

The enigma is the crowned K which appears below the crowned L suggesting Karl of Wurttemberg (1864-1891) on a 1898/05 bayonet !!!! Any ideas gratefully accepted
My Regards,
Norman.
