Title Mauser bayonet, short model 1889
Nationality Belgian
Period c 1889-1914
Sold

This model, with a 25 cm blade, was manufactured from 1889-1915. It has nice fruitwood grips and is numbered T2161 on both cross guard and frog stud. There is a maker's stamp 'HF' under a crown, perhaps for Herstal Fabrique?

The scabbard has 85% original blue finish with some patches of old pitting and a few speckles of surface rust. There is also some surface pitting around the press stud, mostly now cleaned off.

I have in the last six months inherited my late father Alan Swain's police memorabilia collection along with much paperwork receipts etc. I would like to pass on to you my thanks for such good dealership with my father going back to the late 80s and well into the 1990s.
