Bayonets of Imperial Germany 1871-1918

[NoncomRetired]

Nope, just used Hessian as an example, it could have been issued to a Bremen or a Baden unit or any "Prussian" unit. Saxony, Bavaria and Wurttemberg had their own military and rulers, they were part of the Prussian confederation which totally dissolved at the end of WWI. They all took their orders from the Kaiser. Any model 1898 made in Saxony, Bavaria or Wurttemberg would have had their own state crown of their monarch and made in their own factory.

Yours being, what you think issued to the hessian unit, are you also a collector of the hessian lugers with the h.p. Markings?
