WW1 French Epée bayonet

Featured Replies

All,

 

I hope your day is going well. I was doing some shopping at a local antique mall and noticed this odd bayonet. I am no expert on bayonets so I am unsure which model/country/time period it is from but I'm assuming it is WW1? Potential Uruguayan base on some basic research? Any opinions and comments are appreciate, thanks in advance!

It reminds me of some of the pre-WWI type French bayonets, but it's also different from the ones I am familiar with.  But I'm FAR from any kind of expert on the subject.

 

Good luck with an ID.
