4thGordons Posted 15 January , 2019 Share Posted 15 January , 2019 (edited) Markings are Oesterreichsche Waffenfabrik-Gesellschaft (Austrian State Weapons Manufacturing Company) It looks like an M1895 knife bayonet but they usually have two rivets on the cross piece, perhaps some version thereof? Chris Edit - it appears there was an interwar version of the M1895 made for the MP34 machine pistol that resembled this -- are the wooden scales held in place by screws?

Ring is larger than 1895 model, 16,5 vs 15 mm Edited 15 January , 2019 by Gernika Dddd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msdt Posted 15 January , 2019 Share Posted 15 January , 2019 It is an Austro-Hungarian M1890 bayonet. That's the Austrian cypher on the ricasso on the other side to the Steyr mark. 1895's have the blade with the cutting edge to the top as well. Cheers, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Tony 1890s have 2 models.... carbine 370 mm long with 15 mm ring. long rifle 375 mm long with 16,5 mm ring. Blade looks uncut, anyway not at the point to loss 5 mm.

Cheers, Tony Yep -- Agree. like this one but what is the MRD? Is there an export version? I think Steyr supplied a lot to Siam (Thailand) Edited 15 January , 2019 by 4thGordons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippingsteel Posted 16 January , 2019 Share Posted 16 January , 2019 Yes I think it is the M1890 knife bayonet, but from late production, most likely during WW1. Mainly because the old-style screw adjustment is missing from the muzzle ring. So made during the M1895 era with simple shaped muzzle-ring, but too suit earlier type Mannlicher rifles which came out of storage when hard-pressed for arms during the war.

AndyBsk Posted 18 October , 2019 Share Posted 18 October , 2019 (edited) Normal austrian M1890 rifle bayonet, possible it has pommel unit marking? it could be refurbished in WW1, grips are replacements. Edited 18 October , 2019 by AndyBsk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
