Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Most of these long Sword bayonets were shortened in the 1920's to have 10" blades, more in line with the shorter bayonets coming into use around the world. This example however retains its original full 18" fullered blade, with an overall length of 23", and bears all Turkish markings to the ricasso of the blade. It comes with it's original wood grips and substantial hook quillon crossguard, terminating in a ball end used. This was used for rifle stacking as well as to engage an opponent's blade in combat. The blade is extensively marked in Turkish on the ricasso and the steel cross guard also bears the weapon's serial number.
The bayonet comes complete with it's original steel fitted leather scabbard with German style frog stud. These are far harder to find than the all steel scabbards, as they are far less resilient to wear and age.
Please see Watts & White’s fine work THE BAYONET BOOK, page 280, item 624.
A very nice example of this hard to find bayonet in its original blade length, ready to display!
