Hi everyone. I like to show you this Italian Carcano 91 rifle emergency bayonet. These bayonets have been made only during WW1 to make more quick the production of bayonets, needed in great number for the soldiers at front. This bayonet I show is a standard Carcano 91 bayonet but hilt and crossguard with muzzle ring are made in one unique piece in brass fusion. There were also same bayonets with brass hilt and crossguards, with standard Carcano bayonet blade, but hilt and muzzle ring modified to fit Italian Vetterli 1870/87 rifles. Both bayonets can have serial number or not. The bayonet I show, in fact, has no serial number or other mark, the scabbard is a usual Carcano 91 scabbard of WW1 period. Hope you like it:
