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.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

testimonials

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.

I collected my iron cross this am from the sorting office. Thank you for the medal; as before it's a very nice one. Thank you for your prompt service and I look forward to purchasing more in the future from you and your wonderful site.
