ShtLE303 Posted 7 June , 2018 Share Posted 7 June , 2018 Well, a few days after finding my M95, I get a lead on an M95 bayonet, and an NCO version at that. Its a bit scruffy with an interesting repair to the handle, but I can probably count on one hand how many I've run into over the years. OEWG and Austrian eagle marked, and a few other markings that may show better after a light cleaning. Glad to have found it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 7 June , 2018 Share Posted 7 June , 2018 Is that a wood insert in the grip? Not seen anything like it before! Trajan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trajan Posted 7 June , 2018 Share Posted 7 June , 2018 Certainly well done repair - and a nice bayonet. Now all you need is a portepee and a frog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 8 November , 2018 Share Posted 8 November , 2018 I just bought a bayonet for my M95. I had been looking for a while to find one at a reasonable price. I’m not sure if it is the correct one because there are no visible markining. Here is a picture. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

trajan Posted 9 November , 2018 Share Posted 9 November , 2018 Hello and welcome to GWF! This not my collecting area but can say that more photographs will be appreciated, e.g., the serial number on the scabbard. I am surprised that there are no ricasso markings and no rivets are visible in the crossguard though! My small group of 95's has them... So, what makes you sure this is a M.95? Does it fit the rifle?

AndyBsk Posted 7 October , 2019 Share Posted 7 October , 2019 First one is mostly a owner refurbished bayonet, possible in wood grip messing insert and new hook ok crossguard, removed rivet heads etc,its started life as normal M95 bayonet and was reworked to NCO configuration. Second one is turkish M1935 probably with S84/98 3R scabbard and repro frog. b.r.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman Posted 9 October , 2019 Share Posted 9 October , 2019 Austrian NCO M 95 bayonets had a Portapee or sword knot attached to the back of the handle via a hole drilled through as symbol of owner rank There are "field promotion" versions where the hole was drilled in the handle , apparently by the owner or a unit armorer to signify the users promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
