Original Turkish Model 1890 Mauser Rifle Sword Bayonet with Scabbard

Original Item: Only One Available. This is an unaltered Model 1890 Turkish Mauser sword bayonet retaining the full length 18" blade with blood gutter down each side. The blade is extensively marked in Turkish and the steel cross guard also bears the weapon's serial number.

The bayonet features a hooked quillion with ball end used for rifle stacking and to engage an opponent's blade in combat. The grip plates are wood and are retained by rivets. The bayonet measures 23" in overall length which is rare as the vast majority of these bayonets were shorted to 10" blades during the post World War One period. This bayonet comes complete with a steel mounted black leather scabbard and is offered in overall in good collectable condition.
