Hi Folks - I know these are not as collectable as many others shown on this forum, but I picked this one up cheap last fall, and actually got it sharpened professionally, and I carry it as my "Seitengeweher" while hunting (I actually used it to gut my first buck last November!!).
Its a nice comfortable rig, that I coupled with an repro 84/98 leather frog, which all sits nice on my belt.
From the research I did on this model, almost all of them appear as Chilean contract bayonets, along with the Chile crest and 3-circles stamping, both.
This one has neither of those, and only a "c" on the back edge of the blade and on the ball tip of the scabbard.
I have not been able to fully identify this piece, so I'm wondering if anyone can help trace its lineage?
Again - not necessarily an investment, but I'm kind of proud to use it while hunting, and would like to confirm its heritage.
Anyone?
Thanks!
