WWI French Model M1886 Brass Grip Lebel M1886/16/35 Bolt Action Rifle Cruciform Blade Rosalie Shortened Bayonet & Scabbard
Manufacturer: Unknown Model: M1886/16/35 Condition: Very Good Plus Blade Length:10.5\"
Offered here is a WWI era French Model 1886 Lebel bolt action rifle bayonet. This also comes with a metal scabbard. These were used from WWI through the fall of France in 1940. These saw use by troops in the French colonies as well. The cruciform blade was used until 1956. There were two main manufacturers, Manufacture D\'Armes St. Etienne (MAS) and Manufacture Nationale d\'Armies de Chatellerault (MAC).
Overall, this bayonet is in Very Good condition, considering its age. The press catch may not be functional. It feels like it has a weak spring, or possibly a broken spring. Both the brass grip and guard are securely fastened to the tang of the knife. They have scattered impact marks and oxidation.
The cruciform blade has light handling marks and oxidation. It has a light layer of cosmoline. The blade has been cut down from its original length and the quillon has been removed. The tip is intact and comes to a sharp straight point.
This is marked with two letters that are hard to read, possibly \"LR\" and the serial number \"42179\".
The metal scabbard is in Very Good condition. The mouth, body and finial all have a light layer of oxidation and handling marks. The frog stud loop is securely attached.
The markings are worn thin and hard to read, it looks like \"LR\" and \"86B88\", but this could be off.
This bayonet and scabbard will be a great addition to your French Lebel rifle, or bayonet collection in general. As with all used items, a light cleaning may be necessary to meet your standards. Please see our photographs for a better understanding of the contents and its condition.
