Need help ID'ing an old bayonet my grandfather gave me

**jestar15** · 04-25-2012 11:27 AM

Hi All,

My grandfather gave me an old bayonet years ago; unfortunately, he passed away before we could really talk about where or how he got it. I've been looking around the internet, but I have yet to find a site that could give me any real direction. Attached are pics of the knife, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Thanks for the reply Jim, I'm headed that way now!

It's an Italian icon

Model 1938 Carcano. Looks to the the model with the fixed blade, possibly the one made from new parts. Can't tell for sure without seeing the underside of the hilt.

Not sure if these help, its in rough shape, and I'm not sure it would be worth getting cleaned up/restored.

Forgot this one, appears to be the 'fixed' version.

**browningautorifle** · 04-26-2012 10:12 AM

Yes it's the fixed one. Quite common. Just use some fine steel wool and oil. It'll come up to it's best and then just leave it. It'll be fine.
