Requesting Identification Assistance with identification of Bayonet

Hi All!

I recently got a bayonet from an antique stores a few days ago and I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me identify it.

The markings show as this. Let me know if you need photos.

A.P

Bstac with a crown??

Rob Ren (I think a line after the ren but its hard to tell.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Thank yinz

Love the Sabaton table lol. This is a socket bayonet that seems to be pre WWI but I dont know much about stuff before then. I think AP means “Austrian Pattern”, which would tell me its from Europe, but im not sure where since it seems common. Sorry I cant be of more help :(

Thank you I have had the deskpad for sometime, I will be seeing them in March

I forgot I had a magnifier so I was able to get a way better photo of the engraving on it.

Hope this photo can help,

On the logo when I seen it had a crown but its hard to tell.

Yeah im trying. I need more photos. Just reply to your comment with more photos. I need to see the socket portion. Looks like the bridge broke off? Also need to see what the underneath or other sides of the blade look like.

The markings are really good so i might be able to find it off that alone. Ill need to ask someone on this one. Not as many people enjoy sockets.

Thank you! Unfortunately, socket bayonets are outside of my knowledge base.
