All steel: Italian PAI 1938 or 1939,
bronze handle and guard: post war Egyptian.
This is the only difference.
From this photo this bayo looks like the ones produced only on 1938-1939 for the PAI. They were then forsaken.
The REI accepted the MAB 38A only on 1941 and never had bayos like this.
The bayo is the one for the PAI MAB 38A smg. Very rare, perhaps only 2000 made.
