Title Turkish infantry NCO's side arm
Nationality Turkish
Period c 1900
Price £0.00
Sold

Made by Horster of Solingen, this is a classic export number of the period. Interestingly, the maker's details appear both in German and Arabic script at the forte of the blade, along with a religious exhortation in a small panel in the middle (rather faint). The scabbard is iron, as is the hilt, and both have much of their original finish.

The blade is 25.5 inches (64.75 cms) and the overall length is 31 inches (78.75 cms).

...acquiring this bayonet has completely changed my way of thinking on collecting bayonets. I have become extremely fond of the bayonet... Thanking you once again for the very professional way in which you handled the money [going to the wrong account] problem.
