Italian 1938 folding bayonet

[Alex W]

Hello everyone,

Here are some photos of my recently acquired Italian 1938 folding bayonet. Its my first Italian bayonet and I've been looking for one for ages. The blade is a little loose but I've heard thats common. The photos don't do the blade justice, its still got most of its plum coloured finish. Does anyone know who the manufacture of this bayonet is?

Any comments welcome.

Sweet! Downright expensive too! I've been hoping to run across one of these for years as well....no luck

Thanks MAP. It was $205 US - More than I would have liked to spend but it was still cheaper than most I've seen and in better condition.

I would have jumped on it at that price. I seen then much more than this.
