Hi William,
thanks for your continuing input  . Going back to the Chassepot bayonet marking ...according to the 'caption' the markings of crown and C.G were verified by Anthony Carter. A quick search shows that he is a respected writer on bayonets ......  http://66.102.9.132/search?q=cache:y...lnk&cd=1&gl=uk Perhaps he is mis-informed ....or he knows something we don't  However, it was also stated that a number of Chassepots were manufactured in Belgium ......who would have thought a clearly marked blade could be so difficult to identify  Quote:
I am glad it is not just 'wishful thinking' (on my part) that the point may be original to the piece  Regards David |
