    bayonet identification

    Does anyone recognize this "sticker"? My Father brought it back from Europe after WWII. He always thought it was French.

    As it was their duty to defend our freedom, so it becomes our duty to honor their service.

    Yep, French for the Lebel rifle, Epee- Baionette Model 86, 1886-1935, but carried on in use WWII. Originally had a quillon curving forward from the upper hilt, but these were officially removed. Also found with a white metal hilt.

      Thank you Newlyn for the prompt response. It's nice to get confirmation on what you "think" something is...

        I confirm his "thought". I thing they stoped making the quillion in 1916, witch would mean this is post 1916.
