Flea market bayonet 1909 dated

[Toecutter]

Picked this up today for 35.00,looks german made,maybe for Argentina,great shape with matching numbered scabbard,long bayonet for a Mauser rifle?

Looks like that's got the high muzzle ring, which makes it the 2nd pattern of the M1909. The idea was so both the M1909 mauser rifle and the M1891 rifle could be fitted to the bayonet. The "RA" mark is not an inspection mark, more a property stamp meaning property of the Republic of Argentina. Nice condition example TC and yes, made by the great Solingen makers later called WKC.

That looks to be in good condition and matching numbers as well. I seem to recall that the Argentine crest is often ground off the blade.

Thanks guys,appreciate it!Seemed like a low price for such a nice bayonet,couldnt pass it up,although I dont have a rifle to put it on.

Nice one matching M909 for Argentina, WKC has correct full name stamping.b.r.ANdy
