Product Details
Called Rosalie by the French Poilu, this particular version was manufactured during The Great War using mostly brass handles. The scabbard (forreau) was originally blued and the bayonet itself was left in the white.
This particular version was not made with a quillon, they were made this way as the quillon versions were prone to snagging on barbed wire and other obstructions in the confines of the trenches.
A nice example of this model in good original condition. The scabbard has two minor dents and has lost its blueing at some time in the past and carries a different serial no. to the bayonet which has some marks to the brass handles.
