This bayonet features a 40cm blade with most of its original factory bluing worn, yet retains some traces. The ricasso is marked, and a serial number is stamped on the top of the hilt. The scabbard shows some remaining factory bluing but exhibits minor pitting spots and small dents. The wooden handle displays wear consistent with age, including a chip, but remains in good overall condition. The blade appears to have been period-sharpened, adding to its historical authenticity. Overall, this bayonet is in very good condition, making it a desirable piece for collectors.
