Austro-Hungarian Ersatz M 1895 bayonet. (ABCN442-1)(K137)(JN12-2)
Austrian Mannlicher rifle M 1895. Ersatz bayonet. Excellent but very crudely made double edged blade with no markings. The blade is 90º twisted to the right. Blackened flat tang with a hook shaped "crossguard" with a square muzzle ring top. (MRD 15,3 mm )attached by two round rivets. The sides of the crossguard ring are marked: L The flat leave spring underneath the tang has a square edge and is also hold by the two rivets holding the crossguard. The leave spring is longer as the hilt.
Comes with its correct Feldgrau painted Austrian M 1895 scabbard with no dents. Frog stud is marked OEWG and an Austrian Crest.
One of the many interesting variations of the Austro-Hungarian made Ersatz bayonets of WWI.
Very interesting Austro-Hungarian ersatz bayonet. Not a coy, but a genuine example.
New addition. Pictures will follow soon.
