WWI Austrian Model 1895 Ersatz Bayonet with Scabbard and Frog Nice Original
Price: US $158.00
I know the term is overused, but this is a true \"barn find.\" This is a complete but well worn Austrian Model 1895 Ersatz bayonet with scabbard and frog. Overall length of the bayonet is 15 1/4\", blade length is 10 3/8\". Bayonet is complete, nice twist blade variation. The only marking I can find on it is the \"chevron\" on the edge of the piece forming the muzzle ring. There is some (very little) black finish remaining on the handle but is mostly rust brown. The blade is ok, it has a couple of small nicks on the cutting edge and there are heavy runner marks along both sides of the blade. I think it might clean up with a little work. Scabbard is also complete, appears unmarked, and the gray/green finish is also mostly gone with some traces remaining (mainly under the frog). Rusty overall. The frog is nice, black leather, also appears unmarked. The rivets are rusty and there is some drying to the leather, the loop is a little stiff and a crack is starting to form along the stitching of the loop on the back. Very dirty. Exactly as you\'d expect coming out of a barn!
I picked this bayonet up several years ago from an estate sale and apart from mine, has never been in a collection. It\'s not pretty, but it\'s complete and I do think it will clean up a little. I\'ve never tried to clean it, even the dirt on the frog is original from the barn.
Postage is based on the calculator. If actual postage is substantially less than quoted I will happily refund the difference! Please be aware of any laws regarding bayonets in your community before offerding.
