European(?) Hunting(?) Whatsit

A nice piece at a very good price.

From what I have read and also within the reference book by R.D.C.Evans, there are 18th century plug bayonets of this style found in Germany. Pages 88-101 show this and writings on pages 93 and 94 talk of the Germanic hunting bayonets. Mr Evans also talks of the VIVAT PANDUR markings found on these. The markings on this one presented may be of a similar quality marking, certainly worthy of future research.
I'll read further and see if this mark is actually found within Mr Evans fantastic book.
