    Estate finds - M95 bayo, Trapdoor scabbard, Japanese sword handle? - PIC HEAVY

    Hey Edge Weapons Forum! Here's some pics of bayonets, and scabbards I found in a recent estate sale. Need some help with identification, and general info.

    I'm taking pics, as I clean and oil these items. Will continue to update this post with more edge weapon porn as I go

    1 Springfield trapdoor bayonet scabbard?







    2 - Katana handle?

    The tsuka (handle) is from a shira saya, or "resting" sword mount better suited to protecting the sword while the working mounts are stored separately. It would be matched to a likewise plain wood scabbard. The sayagaki (Japaneseicon writing on the handle) may identify the sword and/or maker, but since the sword has gone adrift, it's probably not worth trying to translate. Unfortunately there is about zero collector value to the item.

    Okay, okay... those last two weren't bladed weapons. Sorry guys. I knew I was going to be posting some actual bayonets, so here goes.

    This one has a leather & steel scabbard, and only three markings that I can find.
    AZ8303 on side of hilt
    T on top of hilt
    26 on back edge of grip








    found another

    Looks like you are right on the money:
    Bayonets of Spain

    Except, my bayonet is missing many of the expected markings. No factory mark, for example.

    Could be right, there are four different variations of that type. Not Brazilianicon as I thought, missing the hook.

    This is pretty amazing. A Spanish Mauser and a Spanish Bayonet together in one find.

    Another bayonet... M95 looks like, and wasn't treated properly.

    99% sure scabbard is for something else.
