Hello, nice video. I have few things that can be usefull for you. Firstly About those scabbards, before the war they were painted black and during they were paited olive green color that was called Isonso Brown, but I don't thing that this is actually a M95 scabbard if it is it has to be some kind of "ersatz" one. Than that marking on your Hungarian bayonet is Hungarian crest so it was in service in Hungarian part of monarchy. That "jing-jang" symbol is actually another Czech manufacturer called "Zbrojovka Praga" (Prague arms factory) and near that was Czech lion as an acceptence stamp.
There is one very good webpage where is pretty much everything about these bayonets. I won't be putting any links here, but you can try to find it. Its adress is: bajo cz sweb cz (dots between everything). But it is only in Czech language so you have to translate it for yourself 😅
Your standard or,s example has a number marked on the crosspiece,it is one of a batch refurbished postwar for export to the Sudan,I have one, exactly the same,cept mines Czech production,(big rivets on the cross guard means Czech production),the numbers were done with electric pencil.scabbards were black in peacetime and field gray in war.
Not wishing to rain on your parade..but that scabbard is for a Siamese type 45 bayonet,and was made at Tokyo arsenal.genuine m95 scabbards have a flat frog hook and are marked oewg,feg,and v and n,for Vogel and noot,of hartberg in Styria.
I've got an austrian-made one with a marking of what looks to be a man on a horse stabbing someone, I haven't been able to find anything on that symbol
Sounds like it could be a dress bayonet. Stuck buttons can be very difficult to fix, I generally give them an oil. If it doesn't want to move I usually leave them
@@pointynotsharp huh... shame, the crossguard also was weird, it had no hook/ring etc. no nothing tought that it was broken and ground down, but then again the blade was untuched and not sharpened beyond the factory
Ive got that knife from my grandfather that fought in ww1, the number on my knife is 80, what does that mean? Also i didnt really understand what the F.G.G.Y. meant, pls explain it to me if you can

Thanks, I will check it out
Mate, nicely done!
Just pulled the trigger on one. Cost me 55 USD … incl. postage 😃
Thank you for another great review / suggestion-to-buy 😊 👍

ŒWG does have quality. My M1912 is probably my most quality bayonet.
It's a shame how hard it is to find these for a decent price. Took me forever to get one, but I eventually found a Vogel and Noot one for 80 dollars

That works 😅 I'm currently looking at a Siamese type 45 without a scabbard
I gotta get one of these for my m95 carbine...

Hmmm, that's a tough one. I'll check my books. Sounds like an obscure German made one from Solingen
The only thing close to that is a Bulgarian Lion military acceptance mark
That's a Greek mannlicher schoener bayonet and the man on the horse is the orthodox symbol of saint George slaying the dragon.
@@politianospolitis862 appears to be correct, appreciate it!
Mine had 0 markings, and a weird stuck button... how could one get it unstuck?

Hello, I have one with F R. What does that stamp mean?
The only marking I can find in my reference book is field infantry regiment. Does it look like a unit marking or manufacturer marking?
@@pointynotsharp It's an manufacturer mark
Why are the blades upside down ?
That's a good question, I don't know

I'm not sure about the Number 80 but the FGGY is an acronym for the manufacturer, FEG which is a Hungarian manufacturer
The F.G.GY. means Fegyver- és GépGYár (Weapons and Machinery Factory, Budapest, Hungary).
@@Zsora75 thanks man
My scabbard has a v and n with an eagle.
That stands for Vogel and Noot. A company located in Austria
