I really do own a piece of history!!

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Today I finally decided to do a bit of research into an old bayonet that my father gave me a long time ago that he got from a friend during his stint in the US Army in Germany back in the '60s. For a long time I had wondered what the words "Waffenfabrik Neuhausen" ment cause at the time I didn't understand German but I know now that it means Weapons Factory ,Neuhausen, which lead me to belive that it was a German bayonet from World War One due to the sawback blade which was used on bayonets of that time. But it turns out that it isn't German but SWISS!!!! Heres some info in the type of bayonet that I own.
