Not Usually Exciting. A Bayo?

[martin08]

Most of the time, a bayonet is a bayonet, is a bayonet.

But I'm all charged up about this one:

The serial, 548831, is only a few (tens of) thousands off from my US marked Remington. Wha-hoot!

What style or configuration is this? I have a similar one and am trying to find a value to sell it with a Finn M91 this week. The bayonet is not SA marked.

Yours is the early lock-ring style for the M91. It very much depends on markings. A Chatellerault or [SA] marked bayonet can go for $2-300, Sestroryetsk is $150-200, Remington and NE Westinghouse are $1-150, and Tula and Izhevsk are $50.


For reference, mine was $125 shipped.

Well then I better get out the Fuji and get some close ups.

Thanks

No sun to work with but these show most of the markings.

Not SA.

Thanks for looking.

The bow and arrow mark under the 18 of the serial number is the Izhevsk arsenal logo. One of the most common ones...

... but still $50 worth of bayonet you have there!

Yet another great find buddy. Congrats!!!

Nice score I've been looking a Remington marked one to go with my rifle for a while now

I like it. Those old types with the simplicity of a screw lock ring...

Diverging a bit from the Mosin theme, I'd like to find a bayonet that fits my M1888/05 Commission Rifle. They weren't used long enough to have dedicated bayonets made for them, but rather had bayonets from other rifles adapted to them.

Regards,

The SG71 "Infanterieseitengewehr M1871" and M71/84 are the "bayonets from other rifles" which will fit.

SG71 Sigges' Bajonette
M71/84 Sigges' Bajonette

The SG71 is the bayo original to the Mauser M1871 Infantry Rifle (making it a looong toothpick), the M71/84 is original
to the Mauser M71/84 rifle. The bayo lug on the Gew.88 was designed to accomodate the older bayos.
