Finnish M38 Bayonet

Not the prettiest of my M38 bayonets but it completes my Finn Rifle. Took at least five years to locate one I was willing to pay the price for. As the years went on, my limit went up but I still got it for considerably less than what most were asking for them. It's solid but has seen plenty of use.

I remember when our local gun shop brought in a couple crates of sundry bayonets and those were in there. I can't be sure if they were the Italian or the Finnish one though. Still wouldn't be able to tell unless I had both to compare.

Exact same bayonet. Only difference is the SA acceptance mark.

When I sold my M38 I sold the bayo separately for 250€. Could have made more. They are quite pricey.

I've managed to get four maybe five of them. Not sure about the 5th but thinking it's around here somewhere. That's the one I would like to locate because I may swap out the blade for this one and then sell it. I don't need five. Don't need four either but number four has a bubba special pair of grips I keep hoping to replace someday.

At the time I bought a fixed blade Carcano bayonet but didn't get the folder because they were so ugly and had no scabbard. My mistake I guess.

They do have scabbards although not necessary as they were made to stay on the rifles. I have two.

I found out that later.
