Siamese Mauser with Bayonet

[Eaglelord17]

Aragorn243, do you know the year of manufacture of your rifle, please? If memory serves me correctly I did see or read somewhere that this was the only rifle/bayonet combination where the scabbard could remain attached to the bayonet while the bayonet was fitted to the rifle. I can't quite believe it's the only combination where this is possible but equally I'm unable to think of another example where it can be done.

I have installed bayonets on many rifles with the scabbards on them. It just depends on the rifle and bayonet. Examples where this is possible include the Arisaka rifles, Carcano rifles, and I believe some Swiss rifles. I would have to go and retry a bunch of rifles as it wasn't really something I was paying attention to at the time.
