Question French Bayo

By admin ( July 11, 2012 at 2:32 pm) · Filed under History forum

Hi guys,well i bought another bayonet the other day. I know its French and it has the script on the top side of the blade(not very good pics of it) but its either 1868 or 1886,i know there were the Chassepot blades being made around this time but i dont think this is one.Have looked around trying to find this exact one but only found similars.Can anyone help with id? Maker marks are a "B" and an "M" with a crown looking type symbol above it.Also a "5" on the other side.The blade from tip to guard is 23inch`s,very very good condition!. Any thoughts or comments be much appreciated ;-)
