For your consideration, you are viewing an Antique piece of Brazil's Military History. This bayonet is a Brazilian M1908 Mauser Quillon Bayonet complete with a brown leather sheath that is new, hand-stitched, and made in Australia by a highly skilled Australian saddle-maker with high-quality Australian leather, the leather is strong and supple. It has a strong working snap button with all the stitching tight and intact and fits tightly together with the bayonet, this bayonet is for use with the 7 mm. M1908 Mauser rifle produced for Brazil by DWM (Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken Aktien-Gesellschaft) in Germany. The M1908 rifle was closely designed on the Gewehr 98 also used and exported by Germany. These bayonets were manufactured from 1908–1914 by several German blade makers for the Brazil Military and they were in use up until around 1934.  This German-manufactured 1908 is excellent quality and can easily still serve as a functional knife. The 1908 has a polished bright steel finish pommel with a T-O slot and a push button release. It has a swept forward quillon cross-guard and a 15 mm. muzzle ring also has a bright finish. It has a bright 11¾" single-edged, fullered spear point blade with 2-piece wood slab grips secured to the tang by 2 rivets and has a clearing hole in the grips adjacent to the cross-guard. This does not have its original scabbard but it has been paired with a brand new hand-stitched thick cowhide brown leather sheath belt hanger, (Made in Australia) this sheath measures 43 cm / 17" and on its own, it is valued at over $70. The leather is super strong and supple with all the stitching tight and intact, the snap button is tight, and overall is of excellent quality # This bayonet does not have any Marks : CONDITION: This antique bayonet is from circa 1900s, and it is in good condition for its age and use in warfare.
