French Lebel M1886 cruciform bayonet with quillon and scabbard /2 **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 soon disappeared during WW1 in an attempt mainly to shorten production time, and the cupro-nickel handle was replaced with a brass one for similar reasons. This particular example is in very good condition. The full 52cm long blade is unbent will very light marking. The scabbard is dead straight with no dents, with minor corrosion in places, and the blade slides in smoothly. Good nickel grips and release button, except that one side has some kind of impact damage. Fits fine on a rifle despite it, and price adjusted accordingly. A super early WW1 bayonet to compliment your Lebel or Berthier, with slight battle damage!
