Title Schmidt-Rubin engineer bayonet, model 1911
Nationality Swiss
Period 1934
Sold

This was introduced for the Schmidt-Rubin carbine of 1911, a straight pull bolt action weapon. The engineers in the Swiss Army carried this weapon with a leather scabbard from 1911 to WW2 (uniquely, they carried it with the release button facing the wearer's belt).

It has walnut grips, a steel-mounted leather scabbard, with a chrome plated blade and hilt. This leather scabbard is somewhat rarer than the usual steel one.

There is some age wear to the chrome finish throughout. The grips are in good shape, with some minor bruising. The scabbard seam has opened somewhat, but is still intact, the leather being in excellent shape apart from some minor surface wear.

Swords mattered [arrived?]. I am very content. You still have which good swords for the sale?

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
