Another "What do I have here?" thread!

the muzzle hole has the screw on top, not the knot.

??? Not sure what you mean by that.

But I repeat. Your bayonet is - as far as I can tell from your photos - a Chassepot bayonet. The quillon/muzzle ring/screw arrangement is identical to my Chassepot bayonet.

It is not a Werder bayonet - the grooves on the grips have a different spacing - 6 untouched rings between the rivets on the Chassepot, 5 on the Werder (at least on the photos that I can find).

Furthermore, the Chassepot has a knob on the end of the quillon, the Werder does not.
