M1895 Chilean Mauser bayonet
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.
