All Other > Edged Weapons

Switzerland, WWII – Sagebajonett Mod. 1914 by Waffenfabrik Neuhausen. Introduced in 1914, these bayonets were issued to select troops along with the 7.5mm Bolt-Action Schmidt-Rubin Models 1911 Carbine and the K31 Carbine, for both the Swiss and Italians. The leather scabbards were originally introduced with the WWI, yet replaced in 1938 with the steel scabbards. The 18 7/8 inch, fullered, swell-point tip, sawback blade looks great! It features a nicely executed “Waffenfabrik Neuhausen” maker mark. A nice matte like finish. Typical surface scratches and runner marks throughout. The scabbard is sheet metal based and black enamel painted. It holds 97%+ of its original painted surface. No dents. The throat retaining screw remains intact as does the obverse leather hanger strap. The throat and just above the hanger are both marked with a curly “P” (E. Paillard & Cie). The ball has the swiss cross on it. The scabbard sits nicely up against the hilt. The hilt is constructed out of polished steel. The crossguard features the mussel ring and is also marked with the swiss cross to the other side. The push button continues to work well. There are two grained wood grips that are in perfect condition. Overall it is a very nice bayonet!
