Thanks, but knowledge as much learnt from other members of and contributors to this forum as from my own independent research!

Trajan is certainly correct as studying long time this area, the 1935 was a collector name for generic conversion, real would be the 1937/8. Same as SS is correct the date converter as 1904 is more real as 1906. What is good here the handle was only minor changed as i assume it remained intact from M1903 bayonet, only shortened blade to 25cm and hook of crossguard was removed, other point is the scabbard, this is a crude turkisch refurbishment.

I really appreciate the work you guys have done about ottoman and turkish bayonets throughout the years. I think ottoman 32cm engineers/artillery multi tool wasn't mentioned in the forum yet, maybe we could create an page/topic about them.
