Newest addition to the collection. I am very happy and blessed to have purchased bayonet.
1887/Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co of Sollingen/Sch. D.O.A. 223 (Grenadier-Regiment Kaiser Wilhelm, König von Preußen Nr.101 (2. Königlich Sächsisches) The replacement or non-matching steel scabbard is marked "Sch. D.O.A. 762" showing that it was previously used with a different East African Schutztruppe bayonet. Note the hand carved grooves in the wooden grip.

I assume the striked out units is for Rekruten Depot des Gren.Regt. nr.101. The scabbard could be from KS98 piece. I assume there was other unit under the X out newer unit, visible on part of second R and on last digits area.
