Everything Old Antiques & Vintage
SKU: 1499-34308
French Yataghan sword bayonet for use with the M1866 Chassepot needle-fire rifle. It can also be used on the M1874 Gras rifle. Someone sadly took a wire brush to the blade to clean it up and so any blade markings are all but obliterated. It is missing its scabbard.
