Beautiful French bayonet and scabbard with inscription on the spine of the blade which reads “Mre d’Armes de St. Etienne Janvier 1877”, so the bayonet was manufactured for the French government in 1877 and was used on the M1874 Gras rifle. The ricasso has two hallmarks that show it was produced for the government at the French state arms plants and by Steyr in Austria. It has a wood and brass grip and comes with a matching scabbard. You can tell because the numbers on the cross guard and scabbard match (J 92906). The bayonet and scabbard are completely intact, there is no rust on the blade and very light signs of rust on the cross guard, and no dents or bumps on the scabbard. The bayonet measures 25 1/2 in. long from the top of the hilt to the tip of the bayonet and the scabbard itself is 21 1/4 in. long. Great condition overall.
