October 5, 20223 yr #1 I have a M91/38 (so I'm told) Italian fixed bayonet. 11 inches long with a wooden handle, and an 8 inch steel scabbard. It has a U inside a circle stamped on blade, F78025 stamped on blade, ROCCA stamped on blade, and what looks like an eagle (?) sitting on top of a circle or wreath with an X or maybe a swastika inside the circle/wreath that's stamped on the wooden handle. What do these markings mean and is this a M91/38 bayonet? Also, is it supposed to fit the Model 1938 Carcano short rifle? Thanks.
March 24, 20242 yr #2 Official designation "Baionetta con lama fissa Modello 91/38." ( Paul Kiesling, Bayonets Of The World.) It will fit the 1938 Carcano short rifle. ROCCA is the manufacturer, but I know nothing of them except the name. Hopefully other forum members can add information about ROCCA. With better pictures, perhaps the other stamps could be identified.
March 26, 20242 yr #3 Yes, bear in mind that the fixed blade bayonets are considered less valuable than the folding blade examples.
