Rudeltaktik1313 Posted 12 December , 2023 Share Posted 12 December , 2023 Hello, I have what I think to be a Belgium Model 1916 Mauser bayonet? It does not have matching serial numbers between the bayonet and scabbard and has not been shortened; retaining its 17.5 in. blade. Although, it has a 15 mm muzzle ring, which would make it a M1935 with a bushed down muzzle ring? I was wondering if anyone has any information on this type of bayonet. Additionally, what could the letter H on the crossguard and the letter s on the catch mean? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBsk Posted 12 December , 2023 Share Posted 12 December , 2023 As corectly mentioned this is a late 30ies conversion some older bayonets M1889/35 or in this case a M1916/35 version, the letter in box are inspector proofs in belgian armory.
