Scarce WW1 Belgian Mle 1889 (Mauser) Short Infantry Bayonet
A scarce Mle 1889 Belgian short infantry bayonet in as found condition, a non matching number example but both bayonet & scabbard stamped with letter K.
The 10 inch blade shows no sign of sharpening but now showing age related staining, the forte is stamped with a makers mark JS under a crown, the wooden slab grips are in good order, pommel release button also in working order.
The cross guard now has a small sharp burr from receiving a blow at sometime during its service.
Left in as found condition (very light surface rust on exposed areas) but would improve with cleaning.
SORRY UK SALES ONLY, must be 21 or over, proof of age will be required (passport image) as this item will not be dispatched until received. Many thanks.
