 BA-164 Alcoso Double Etched Long Dress Bayonet
Pioneer Scene Who says the SOS wasn't great!! I sure had a
great show finding this puppy! This plated
blade has a nice crisp etch. A similar motif can be seen on pg 99 of the Techet reference. It is considered Very Rare. The blade has no sharpening. It
shows some scuffs that you can find if you turn the blade just so in the
sun. There is no oxidation. Blade rates Exc++/NM. The hilt has good plating
but there is a bit of lifting, it still rates at least 98%. The
release button works fine. The grip
plates are damage free being retained with 2 steel rivets. The scabbard is
an undented example with just the light evidence of honest wear. Leather buffer is
intact. Scabbard has 99% of period painted surface
intact. No dents. You likely will not see another available in a very
long time. Overall
Exc++/NM $4495
