Title Musketon bayonet, model 1892
Nationality French
Period c 1914
Sold

Clean specimen with nice walnut grips and matching numbers to the hilt and scabbard. This is the later version, where the quillan has been modified, probably c 1914-15. The Musketon was basically the artillery/cavalry carbine version of the Lebel rifle, model 1886. Condition is generally superb with the bulk of the original blue finish to scabbard.

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
