Finnish M38 Bayonet

[Aragorn243]

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.

[Aragorn243]

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.

[Aragorn243]

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.

[Aragorn243]

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

I found out that later.
