The FR stood for Frederic Rex, Frederick the Great, King of Prussia.

You got a great buy at that price, anywhere from 125.00 to 250.00 with scabbard and I've seen them higher. Many of the sawtooth models had the teeth ground off after the war, Geneva Convention requirement I hear. Not too many survive the war with teeth that were in use after the war that stayed in Germany. Nasty things those teeth.............

Im curious about the "F R" markings on the helment. What do they stand for?
