French Lebel M1886-15 cruciform bayonet and scabbard, brass hilt, matched s/numbers **SOLD**
This is the cruciform type 'epee' bayonet as fitted to the Lebel M1886 and Berthier M1907 rifles that equipped the French Army, and those of it's colonies, during WW1. Introduced in 1886, this bayonet featured a hook quillon which was removed in 1915 as it snagged on barbed wire, to become the M1886-15. The nickel silver hilt could also be made from either brass or cast iron. This particular example is in good sound condition with a brass hilt. The full 52cm long blued blade is straight and clean, and the scabbard is also good and straight and nearly all of it's original finish. Matching serial numbers to both bayonet and scabbard. A very nice WW1 bayonet to compliment your Lebel or Berthier rifle.
