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.

testimonials

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
