During the defeat of 1870, the German army extensively emptied French arsenals and appropriated the stocks of weapons surrendered by the vanquished.
Some Chassepot bayonets were re-marked with typical German army markings, while others were erased or altered.
The model we are offering bears markings that do not correspond to those of French cutlers; we therefore deduce, perhaps incorrectly, that this weapon was re-assigned to the German army.
Very good condition.
CHASSEPOT SABER BAYONET, MODEL 1866.

Bayonet with a blade inspired by the yataghan, also known as a saber bayonet.

Brass grip. Steel crossguard, unstamped and unmarked.

Blade marked 57.50 cm in length, stamped, marked C.G.K., in very good condition.

Steel scabbard serial number illegible.

Heavily oxidized scabbard on the front only! Attic rust on the crossguard, otherwise in good condition
