I have been meaning to ask about.
First is a bayonet an old gentleman showed me after asking me to identify an old rifle he called me over to look at. The rifle was an old Swiss Veterlli. I took pics of the bayonet and apologise, I thought the scabbard was in the pics. Info on the bayonet would be appreciated.

The second is a shell casing that was always in my grandparents house. Grandad was a WW1 Vet and had this made for him by a German POW. It has France stamped in it and my grandad's last name also. Wondering about the info on the base of the casing. Thanks.

Thanks for any info. Mark.
