DOCUMENTED MAKERS OF IMPERIAL GERMAN BAYONETS 1871-1918
The following table lists the documented makers of the most common Imperial German bayonet types, identifying the types each maker is known to have produced. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. Bayonets were sometimes marked by blade makers, manufacturers (the firm assembling the blade and other components), and/or the retailer selling the completed product. So, the marks aren’t always “maker’s” marks, although this is an accepted term when referring to them. As a result, some bayonets will also bear more than one firm’s markings.
