Unmarked late war behoerden bayonet with unit mark?

KroniK · Jan 22, 2025

Hello,

This lovely bayonet just arrived.
Unmarked and late war.
Blade and scabbard are stamped 13. / 2
On the blade someone has scratched over the stamps with 13. / 1

When I see something like this, I have so many questions about the history of it.

Has anyone seen a similar style of stamps before on a behoerden bayonet?
Are they unit markings? If so, could there be a best guess?
And if so, what would be the best guess of the type of personnel that could have been using it?

Thanks in advance

Its a 1943 or more real 1944 production so question remains when the digits are unit so what unit? and stamped in war or postwar? hard to answer here, evidently it was stamped on correct place for germans , the 13/1 was electro penciled over a stamping. Could be teoretically a 13.Company weapon nr.1, or the unit is of higher level similar to Weimar era marking 13.Company of 1.Regiment? teoretically, could be too a police or other unit in case of Behoerden piece.
