<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack Edwards, post: 2333290, member: 15398&quot;]The reason I said that was because of this snippet from the link in my previous comment. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<i>M1874 bayonets were produced for the government at the French state arms plants and by Steyr in Austria. Government bayonets are marked on the blade spine with the factory, month, and year of production.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>This example was made in Austria, by Steyr, in 1879. Steyr produced approximately 200,000 M1874 bayonets for France, marking them in French &quot;Usine de Steyr&quot; (Machines of Steyr). Steyr also produced M1874 bayonets for Greece. However, Greek M1874 bayonets are marked in German, “Waffenfabrik Steyr” (Weapons Factory Steyr).</i>&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
