The three intertwined circles on the ricasso are the trademark of the famous steelworks, Krupp (pronounced \'Kroop\'), who supplied the blade steel. The three rings symbolized the Radreifen—the seamless railway wheels patented in 1851 by Alfred Krupp. At the turn of the Century, when these bayonets were made, Krupp was the largest company in Europe.
