M1895 Dress Bayonet | Nickel-plated dress bayonet for use with the 7 mm. M1895 Mauser rifle produced for Chile by Ludwig Loewe and Deutsche Waffen-Und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) in Germany. Although the markings are no longer visible, this example is of the type made by Oesterreichsche Waffenfabrik-Gesellschaft of Steyr. It is of lighter construction overall than the WKC-made examples. The black-painted scabbard is not the typical Chilean M1895 scabbard, but appears to be the type used with the German M1884/98 Second Pattern bayonet. |

M1912 | Knife bayonet for use on the 7 mm. M1912 Mauser rifles and carbines produced for Chile by the Austrian firm Oesterreichsche Waffenfabrik-Gesellschaft of Steyr. Also fits on the Chilean M1935 carbine. The M1912 rifle was based on the Gewehr 98, so the existing M1895 bayonets would not work with the M1912 rifle. These bayonets were made in 1912-1913 by Oesterreichsche Waffenfabrik-Gesellschaft of Steyr.
