Hello Tod,

very nice! is the 1938 model folding bayonet/dagger was manufactured for the rifle 91/38 the
wood handle present an folder button, the scabbard have an large loop for the belt the construction
idea was to create an mix of bayonet /knive fighting during the war many of this are modificate
fixed, because the folding sistem don't give an strong resistance at blade with the handle, the
red /brown parkerize is original WWII and difficult to find.
I think the range of value is aprox 200/220 euro for this nice bayonet.
cheers, Raffaello
