Model 1891 Argentine Mauser Bayonets

Two distinct variations of the Argentine 1891 Mauser bayonet. Both examples are original, complete with scabbards, and retain the original hooked quillon (often removed in later arsenal refits).

Option 1: Early Production (Brass Grip)

• Price: $180

• Material: Solid brass ribbed grips.

• Context: Produced under the initial 1891 contracts. Brass was phased out early in production due to cost and weight.

• Condition: Original patina on hilt; blade shows standard age-related oxidation. Includes steel scabbard.

Option 2: Standard Production (Steel Grip)

• Price: $180

• Material: Ribbed steel grips.

• Context: The definitive "standard" issue for the 1891 rifle. More common than brass, but highly collectible when found with an intact hooked quillon.

• Condition: Consistent finish across hilt and scabbard. Blade is bright with minor surface peppering.

Technical Specs:

• Manufacturer: Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co (WKC), Solingen.

• Blade Length: Approx. 15.75 inches.

• Features: Fullered "sword" style blade; muzzle ring diameter for the 1891 Mauser
