Hello, I have a bayonet and noticed that the blade is stamp "F" but I was expecting to see "E" as in E.u.F.
But I have F.u.F.
Any ideas?
Jonathan.

Hello, Numbers don't match, same date 1939.
It looks like an "L" to me, but I am no expert!

the letter suffix is an 'e'. looks to be in pretty good shape

Thanks the bayonet in no letter range is reported with broken E lower part stamp, same as on Arnaud page the piece in 6xxx range. The scabbard is in e range.

Thank you all for the information. My eyesight, since when did a "e" look like a "l" I think I need glasses!
I have looked at that bayonet you mentioned AndyB, thanks for that as well.
