I'm not quite sure how this collection developed but now I don't have enough rifles/carbines for the bayonets! Chris Splendid collection. I find the cruciform blade with brass handle a sheer delight Mickster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 11 February , 2023 Author Share Posted 11 February , 2023 Just picked up another - nothing particularly special but with German Silver hilt and hooked quillon and a frog which was important because this was intended to add to my early war French mannequin who is currently without a frog/bayonet (OK he is an officer but.....I generally display him with a Lebel so this will work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the clothing I presume that you must be a current serving member of the AEF. Again a nice collection.

Get matching rifles Cheers Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBsk Posted 11 February , 2023 Share Posted 11 February , 2023 Very nice collection, the last Lebel M1886 is in AB range so i assume its from Chatellerault production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
