Hi,
Can anyone I.D. this bayonet. Lots pretty similar but I've not been able to pin this one down, 19 1/4 inch (49cms) quatrefoil 'hollow ground' blade with a total length of 21 1/2 inches (54.5cms). Many thanks for all and any replies.
Regards,
Norman.

Hi,
After asking the above I think i can answer my own question, Swiss Veterlli 1863, although, if anybody can I.D. the makers mark I would be most interested.
Regards,
Norman.

Hi Fernando,
Many thanks for your efforts, I thought I'd have one more try on the net and 'hey presto' up pops the answer, I must have been doing something wrong before.

Thanks again.
My Regards,
Norman.
