Turkish Mauser I believe. 0 -
you will have to get pics of any markings on it to be certain people can answer you. I know a couple of hard core bayonette people and I will show them your posts if you have details. 0 -

Looks like my Turkish Mausers. 0 -
...Thought it might be a Czech or a Turk but the blood groove at the crossgaurd is squared, Turk & Czech grooves (as are a lot) are rounded where they end at the crossgaurd.
...Turk's were re-worked more often than maybe any bayo ever produced but, generally it was shortend and the hooked quillion removed; not re-worked at the crossgaurd...[;)]0 -
Rusty, I just looked thru 8-10 Czech and 8-10 Turks, nope it's neither, or rather not any that I have.
...Just looked thru Jap, Yugo, German, Swiss, Swede, Argentine, Spanish from WWI to the 70's that I have, and none matched so, now we know MAYBE what it isn't. One of the Euro variants probably.
Looks like a Mauser variant, one of many...[;)]0 -
Probably for an Austro-Hungarian M 1895 Steyr straight pull rifle. The big give away is that the cutting edge is on top, same side as the barrel opening. Very few bayonets have that. Also, two rivets hold on cross piece. I think FGGY is their arsenal mark for FEG or Fegavar, recently a maker of 9mm Browning Hi Power copies and the PA-63 9mm Makarov pistol. 0 -
stolen from the net, this is the same marking as on my bayonet if this helps. the website calls it a romanian cavalry phoenix. the one pictured is a 1895 Romanian. Kind of fun trying to track this stuff down.0
