Edged Wpns Sword bayonet type?

[3rdTennCo.C]

I had this figured for a P56 bayonet, any thoughts on it and the markings?
I've heard this design was used then and even into the first world war I think?

It is either a P56 or P60 bayonet. One more photo of a top view of the slot in the pommel would identify it as to type.

It is a Solingen made blade identified by the "Knights head" mark and the "crown/S/and a number". So many English blades were made there they sent their own inspectors to Germany.

What kind of rifle used this bayonet?

The Pattern 1860 Enfield. Previous threads identified it as an update from earlier pattern models: "It had 5 groove rifling instead of 3 groove and a 1:48 twist instead of 1:78. This made them much more accurate."
