Offered is a WW2 era Italian M38 Caracano 'folding' bayonet with scabbard.

Bayonet features a steel pommel with working external release button, with wooden grips and metal guard & muzzle ring. The top metal sleeve is stamped o3624. The 17.5 cm long steel blade shows the ‘blood groove’ to each side of the brown finished blade, with the blade showing light use in generally very good condition overall. The blade folds neatly into the grip recess, this being one of the lucky few to have escaped being modified as a non folding blade type. Standard WW2 type metal scabbard, retaining metal belt stud.

Rarely do you see these ‘unmodified’ M38 bayonets, so take the opportunity and add this to your collection as these rarely come up for sale, this being the second and last one we will be selling from a recently acquired collection.
