WWI Bayonet

I am not sure of the difference in the Simson versus Erfurt acceptances. I do know that Simson made tens of thousands of WW1 era bayonets...

And if you are talking lugers, I personally feel that many workers moved from erfurt to Suhl (Simson area) after WW1. Jobs went away and they just moved with the equipment to Suhl. If they did not move, then by-gum, they followed the earlier regulations TO THE LETTER, as the markings for Simson lugers are almost an exact and in fact have more acceptance and proofs than Erfurts do.
