M1938 Folding Bayonet
Unique folding knife bayonet for use on M1938 Mannlicher-Carcano short rifles (fucile corto). These rifles were produced in both 6.5 mm and 7.35 mm caliber.
This example is the push-button folding model, where blade folds into handle like a pocket knife. Blued steel scabbard with integral belt loop. Scabbards exist because the folding feature was eventually deleted and many M1938 bayonets were produced as fixed bayonets, requiring scabbards.
Overall length shown is with blade extended. Overall length with blade folded is 8.50.
A 6.5 mm M1938 Short Rifle was used to assassinate President Kennedy in 1963.
