This is a rare find from the battlefield a pre war French Model 1892 Mannlicher Berthier Rifle Bayonet which is complete only missing its wooden handle. The bayonet which is relic but not too rusty is still very solid and not breaking up. The blade is pitted and has been very nicely cleaned after its recovery and also has some remains of green paintwork remains which looks like it has been put on after recovery it is perfect for display or any collection a cracking relic as this bayonet was not issued in massive numbers like the lebel was. The bayonet was recovered from where the British and French front lines meet in the area at Maricourt on the June-July 1916 Somme battlefield. The bayonet comes with 2x A5 laminated information cards with map and many pictures.
