Description
French Bayonet (1886) for Lebel rifle 1886 M. Probably a relic of WWI. The bottom 6.5 cm of the scabbard has been severed and the blade bent at that point obviously due to impact of bullet on steel scabbard. Otherwise in good order. Scabbard with square frog loop and terminating in a round knob.
