This is a Belgian Model 1889 Mauser Infantry Short Bayonet that I was given many years ago. I had no idea what it was until I scoured the interweb and got some advice. Its not in the best condition but cool to have all the same ?

Not a rare bayonet but i'm told they are scarce in good condition, which this one is clearly not.

The original thread asking for info

Bayonet Help ? - belgium m1889

I have aquired this bayonet but do not know what weapon it would have been used with. I believe from its age that it is WWI era and may, just may be off a German Mauser? If anybody can help in a positive identification I will be very very grateful. Thanks in anticipation - Bomber The...

Old NVA (National Peoples Army of the former GDR) bayonet.

It was an odd lot and cheap so I grabbed a couple of them and gifted all except one to my buddies. I've replaced the original cord with the nylon strap you can see in the photos. I've heard these fit the G36 but never tested it.

Trying to get an idea of which country this belongs to, not in hand belongs to a net buddy in Romania.


thanks in advance.

 

[TIGREDELAIRE]

by the shape of the knob and the handle could be a knife based on a mauser bayonet

My grail-a Randall model 12, 14 grind.

I made this for a retired Marine. It is 8inch O1 with through tang peened over the SS butt cap. Handle is paper micarta.
Grinds are done by hand on my 2x72inch grinder.

A matched pair I did on commission. 154CM steel and cocabolo handles.

A bowie in O1 9inch and stacked leather handle. I had a sheath made by a bootmaker in Texas and gave this to a friend as a wedding gift.

Ok its a relic, but a relic what, my thoughts tend to go towards a Hungarian Cavalry sabre seeing it was found in Transylvania.

 

[TIGREDELAIRE]

very good piece Hungarian sabre, is in good condition despite the time, the patina makes it look very good, I guess that the sleeve will not have even the metal fittings, right?

What grits did you use to achieve this finish?

My neighbour got it while doing a plumbing repair the blade has in fact been broken in two and welded together, somebody has tried to engrave a name on the blade but its difficult to make it all out, the scabbard was not found with it.

I worked 120-2k....hours of hand sanding. But I like the glassy finish. It doesn't rust as quickly either.
