I've got a bayonet I'm trying to identify. It seems to be marked on the blade with a maker's name Spital (in spiral form) plus aS within the spiral. It also has GF and an emblem that I can't quite work out at the moment.
The guard has 84, 356 and R marked on it. It has a barrel hole of 19mm diameter and the handle has a spring catch retainer. The blade is 47cms long and down-curved. Anbody any ideas of it's provenance? |

If you can post an image, I'm sure you will get some help, as a picture is worth a thousand words!

Hi there:
I fail to see the area of the tip, but I get the impression that is a cut sheet yathagan. Affectionately. Fernando K |

Many thanks for your inputs; not sure the significance of Yathagan (apologies for my ignorance
![]() Does M1867 mean the year or just the model (or both)? I had assumed this would have been a WW1 piece..... would that be valid? Elsewhere on this website I've had a thread about a Russian Court Sword which turned out to be 1826-ish and I'm trying to see how this all fits into my family history. I've also got a kukris but more on that later when I've had time to examine and photograph it ! Regards Nigel |
