1935 Hungarian Bayonet

[Aragorn243]

This is a cool bayonet. Looks like a cross between a French Lebel and Belgian contract bayonet. This particular one is the infantry model. Scabbards are supposed to be painted a light green but this is the only one I've seen a photo of that has THIS light green.



The scabbard is supposed to be German. It is marked but I can't read it. It looks like it is almost there but no matter how I look at it I can't make out what it says. Considered putting some leather treatment on it but haven't yet. I has two flat lines with a half round top.

The leather belt frog is German. I agree re the scabbard paint. Seems too bright. My example came in a frog and has the green paint present where the frog protected it from wear.

1935 Hungarian Bayonet

I had a couple of those come past me a couple years back, they are a neat bayonet. The examples I had here were nearly new too. They're quite heavy as bayonets go too.

Frog looks like a standard K98 example similar to this one on one of my K98 bayonets. The close up picture of the back of the frog appears to show a date of 1942 and I think that there could have been something else marked above at one time but I'm not at all sure.
