The blade is stamped with a knight on horseback over BAYARD and the spine carries an inspection stamp. These bayonets are thought to have been for export to several South American countries but at the outbreak of WW1, they were diverted to the German army and became one of the standard bayonets or WW1. The bayonet is contained in an M1915 Bavarian Ersatz metal scabbard. See The Bayonet Book by White & Watts item 277 on pages 115 and 126. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 649.
