Can anyone please tell me the dates of use for the Starburst C mark?
Thanks, Bill

Details of what it was found on and where it was stamped would help. I do not recall seeing a "Starburst C mark" I have observed sunburst K, S, B, D, and L (Weimar Lugers, page 2). These are Weimar-Early Nazi marks. Also, Eagle: K, F, C, and L stamps were used during the Nazi Era (Third Reich Lugers, page 1).

Jan: Sorry, I should have elaborated. The Starburst C is on the back-spline of a pre-nazi police combat bayonet.

Jan: Here's a shot of the Starburst C mark on the Alcosa made combat bayonet. Bill

While I am asking about the Sunburst C mark now on a bayonet, I remember seeing it about 15 years ago on a 1920's era police Luger that turned up locally. It seems that pistol ended up belonging to Jim Cate. Where it went from there I don't know, but I thought it was an unusual police proof at the time. I wondered about it then and since I've turned up this combat police bayonet I wonder again. Has anyone seen this proof before anywhere?
Thanks, Bill
