The 19th Century saw Brazil at war with Argentina and Paraguay, the latter conflict almost destroying Paraguay as a nation. Brazil joined the allies during both WWI &WWII. A new 7mm rifle and short rifle were adopted in 1908. These weapons had an attractive knife bayonet with hook quillon and a brass mounted leather scabbard. See page 38 of ‘An Illustrated History of Bayonets’ by Martin J.Brayley. It has wood slab grips secured with two steel rivets. The 30 cm blade is showing some surface rust. The pommel is steel and has a push button release which works as it should. It has no markings on the bayonet but was made by several German makers. The scarce steel mounted leather scabbards stitching is intact. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 164.
