Item Description
Original Item. Only one Available. These are extremely scarce and hard to find! This is a very nice Austrian-made bayonet for the Portuguese Kropatschek M.1886 Rifle. The design is relatively standard, with a single edged blade that has a very slight "Yataghan" curve to it. The bayonet comes complete with its original steel scabbard fitted into a very nice white leather parade frog.
The back of the blade is marked Steyr 1886., for manufacture by Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft, (ŒWG, Austrian Arms-Manufacturing Company), also commonly referred to as Steyr Werke. Steyr is an Austrian City just outside Vienna and at the time was the home of the entire Austrian arms production. They made Kropatschek rifles and bayonets under contract for shipment to Portugal. For more information please see Watts & White’s fine work THE BAYONET BOOK, Page 243, item 545.
In great condition and ready to display along with your Kropatschek rifle!
