Default 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.

Hello
Just to highlight that the "handle" is different, in the photo that Fernando uploaded I have a growing decrease, to fix it to the barrel. On the other hand, in the photo uploaded by corrado, it can be seen that the handle is almost uniform, with the same diameter. Isn't the word "Solingen" spelled with a single L?

Affectionately

Orthography was in the 18. century a very different thing in comparison withthe today rules.
