Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Hey guys. It doesn't seem like old stuff is a good topic here,but I'll try again

This is a bayonet that doubles as a knife. As you see it folds and fits into the metal sheath. Any ideas as to where it come from,worth?. Thanks

This is an Italian M1938 folding bayonet for the Carcano carbine.
Hey guys. You both must have the same book. Any ideas on if it's rare or common. Much thanks

It is not really rare, but it was made in less numbers than the regular non-folding bayonets.

 I have a fixed blade M1938 made from folding parts.

These bayonets both folding and non-folding can be found for sale on E-bay.

Unique folding knife bayonet for use on M1938 Mannlicher-Carcano short rifles (fucile corto). These rifles were produced in both 6.5 mm and 7.35 mm caliber.

 The push-button folding model folds into handle like a pocket knife.  This was done because the bayonet was intended to remain fixed to the rifle.

This did not work well in practice, so the folding feature was discontinued and a steel scabbard provided.

The overall length listed is with the blade extended. Overall length with the blade folded is 8.50 in. (215 mm.).

John,
