WW2 Italian M38 Mannlicher-Carcano Fixed Blade Bayonet

These bayonets were originally made as folding bayonets, intended to remain attached to the rifle but the design was problematic so they were converted to being a fixed blade bayonet with a steel field scabbard. Measuring 11.25 inches overall with a 7 inch with a single edged, flat spine, fullered blade and a steel cross guard and pommel with 2 piece wood grip panels. Serial numbered and proof marked to the metal spine between the grips. In the issue steel field scabbard.
