This is a Swiss made Model 1899 bayonet designed to fit the M1911 carbine and M1889/96 rifle with the larger 15mm muzzle ring. Made by Waffenfabrik Neuhausen in Switzerland as stamped on the ricasso, this example is in very good condition, with an excellent blade, point and grips. The guard is stamped with the number 129 — a very short and uncommon number. The release button for attachment to the rifle is missing. On close inspection, the outline of where the button should be can be seen, however there are no visible signs of repair, alteration or restoration. The scabbard is in very good undented condition complete with leather tab. Fitted into an original leather frog, in very good condition. This is a super quality bayonet as expected from the Swiss, in lovely condition.
