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

It just arrived today.

Absolutely fantastic condition,  Serial numbers on the blade and the scabbard match; about 95% original bluing on the scabbard; blade remains shiny with no indication of polishing to clean throughout the years.  I did some very superficial cleaning and then gave it a nice coating of some nice renaissance wax.  When I am able to get some decent photos (hopefully tomorrow), I will share those.

If the bayonet bug bites you, resistance is futile.   Lol.

It just starts with one....  next thing you know you are staring at the wall of a cabinet trying to figure out the best way to display the 12+ bayonets that somehow have found their way into your stewardship.

I have posted a couple of new photos, montages really of the Chilean Mauser Bayonet (1895).

It was manufactured in Germany; is a low series (B), which indicates an early production - which matches the manufacture time frame of the rifle (late 1895).  This is in absolutely beautiful condition, and the edge has never been sharpened.  A co-worker is suspecting that at least the bayonet and perhaps the rifle may have been part of the honor guard to be in such incredible condition.
