WWI French Lebel M1866-15 Cruciform Bayonet and Scabbard with matching serial numbers

WW1 French M1886 bayonet for the Lebel rifle. This is the war time simplified version without the quillion (hook) and with the brass handle.

This version with the brass handle is of a type produced during the First World War, from the 25th of October 1914 until July of 1917.

The left side of the blade has the initials SG stamped just in front of the guard to identify the Maker.  The "S.G." mark on a French bayonet from the World War I era stands for

Sutterlin Lippmann & Cie., a manufacturer located in Saint Étienne.

The scabbard has this matching serial number.

The base of the grip has the number 11 stamped into it.

The release button works as designed.
