EDIT* As discussed on the us forum, it is believed to be a Mauser. Any other helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preppy Picker Posted October 20, 2023 Share #6 Posted October 20, 2023 These bayonets could be found by the ton back in the day. They were extremely common but they are slightly more collectible now. The Germans made a variety of these bayonets for quite a few different countries before WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
