    Anyone have any in depth knowledge about Colombian Mauser bayonets?

    I would like to know if anyone has information about the bayonets Colombia issued.

    It seems they generally didn't use any distinctive markings with the exception of the Steyr M1912 bayonet marked "R de C", I have one of those.

    Otherwise they used Brno and FN export models. Are there any other ways to distinguish whether they were issued by the Colombians? I've read that having the serial number stamped on the end of the pommel is an indication but the Venezuelans were said to do that too.

    Any info would be 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.

    Yeah, I realize that. That first link is in correct. It's similar to the one I have. It can't be a (supposed FN) 1024. What's not shown is the mounting slot which would be the short pattern. The FN 1924 and later rifles and therefore bayonets were long pattern.

    The second link I'm also familiar with. He only posts bayos and info on his collection and post no other info. I actually offered to send him pics and info on mine but he declined.
