Saxon Plug Bajonet ca. 1700
I want to show you a very rare plug bajonet made by Peter Weyersberg at Solingen for the court of Saxony. Its wooden handle is fixed by a screw, that fits to a thread of the blade's angle. The monogram "AR" stands for August II. the Strong, Archduke of Saxony and King of Poland, +1733. Total length is 390 mm, length of blade is 235 mm, width 37 mm.

Saxon plug bayonet
Unfortunately, this is a Spanish plug bayonet made in Toledo ca. 1850-70. The "Saxon" etching and maker mark have been added by someone to increase the value.

Engravings are a different work; but surely Bayowolf will show us stronger evidence.
