Guest KevinEndon Posted 10 November , 2006 Share Posted 10 November , 2006 This is on the bayonet as well, it is a half moon or crescent moon if it helps ID the bayonet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KevinEndon Posted 13 November , 2006 Share Posted 13 November , 2006 Would love to know what the inscription says. Knowing my luck it will say something like...... bad luck and poverty to the holder of this bayonet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KevinEndon Posted 14 November , 2006 Share Posted 14 November , 2006 You may be right there Bruce mate being that it was in 1916 and not 2000, 2001, 2002, etc etc etc when Celtic ruled and still do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinEndon Posted 27 November , 2006 Share Posted 27 November , 2006 I have someone who will translate the lingo for me next week. I have found out the pic on the right in post 2 is the right way up. The bit at the bottom like a back to front 7 and a 1 is infact 31. Could this be 1831 which I doubt and it is deffinetly not 1931 as the bayonet was captured during the first world war from a Turkish POW. I will let you know next week what the arabic writing says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinEndon Posted 7 December , 2006 Share Posted 7 December , 2006 The language is in Turkish, which my mate cannot translate due to being an Palestinian, so if any pal out there could take a copy of the picture and take it to the kebab house next visit and ask them to translate for me it would be much appreciated. If you have a Turkish friend or infact Turkish that would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

findabetterole Posted 6 January , 2007 Share Posted 6 January , 2007 Hello Kevin, The inscription that you have found on the forpart of the crossguard under the barrel ring is nothing more than the manufacturers name and the date of manufacture. There are two munufacturers, their names in translation being: 1) Weyersburg, Kirschbaum & Cie, Solingen. 2) Alexander Coppel & Cie, Solingen.
