Hello and thank you both for your comments,

Really interesting informations about FaschinenMesser !
Thank you Ken !.

For my small sword, It's strange because there is no slit in the back ( sword type ) but there is the classic hole (bayonet type )...

In the hole , there is a small medal welded , like the rest of the scabbard.

Maybe it's an old ''bayonet'' , ''decorated'' later ( in Greece, Balkans ? )for making it more saleable ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY !!
