Title Bayonet for Lebel rifle, 1886 model
Nationality French
Period c 1914
Sold

This is the first pattern Lebel bayonet. Unfortunately, a somewhat scruffy example with a slight bend to the base of the scabbard and corrosion, now mostly cleaned off, to both the steel parts of the hilt and the blade. Some bruising to the gun metal hilt. The usual French marks.

Just to let you know that the kokarde [cockade] arrived today. Looks great. Definitely original.
