Franco-Prussian War  Chassepot Mdle 1866

This item was a Prussian capture and has the German Frog Stud. The scabbard is non matching and has German Landstrum markings. This allows some further research which I have undertaken.

The Landsturm units were the fourth class of infantry consisting of older soldiers and was akin to the Home Guard

The side of the blade has the date August 1867 and the manufacturing armoury is Chatelleraut, with an "A" serial number

German Bayonet Markings;

Blade; 13.L.II.1.109= 13th Landsturm Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 1st Company, Rack# 109.

Scabbard; 56.L.I.7.62= 56th Landsturm Regiment, 1st Battalion, 7th Company, Rack# 62

13th Landsturm casualty figures:
