Trying to identify bayonet
A friend has an old bayonet, 22" long, and hasn't been able to identify it. The markings appear to show GEBR WEVERSBERG (or WEYERSBERG) with SOLINGEN printed under it. There are also numbers - 57255 on one side and 39B.369 on the other. There is also a symbol of a crown stamped on the bayonet as well. It can be used either as a bayonet or as a sword. He has the scabbard. It's leather with a metal tip. On the tip is written 34C. Can someone help identify it?

Solingen is city in Germany famous for making cutlery. Gebr is abbreviation for 'brothers' Weyersberg apparently family name of maker. Beyond that a lot more info will be needed to ID your bayonet, best a good picture of the bayonet and close up of the marks. Hope this helps. 0 -
Gonna need a better discription then the one tendered...
Weyersberg or Wyersburg Kirchbaum and Cie made bayonets from the 1860's to and up thru the 1940's...They made bayonets for many Different Guns...German, Swedish, even the English Enfield...The Argentines and Mexico and the list Goes on....If You can give a Complete and Total Discription, I might be able to be of some small help..Bare in mind that I/We can only see thru your eyes....No matter how immaterial it seems to you...It might be the Answer that will tell you its History....A Photo would be of immence also...I/We await your pleasure.......

If you can take pictures and post them somewhere that would be helpful. If not do a google search on "WEYERSBERG bayonet". You'll find lots for sale with pictures as well as sites devoted to bayonets.
Good luck,
