M1900

Sword bayonet for use on 7 mm. M1895 Mauser rifles that Uruguay purchased from FN in Belgium.

This bayonet was incorrectly identified in some early bayonet books as being for use on the 6.5 mm. Mauser-Daudeteau conversions of the M1871 Mauser done for Uruguay by the French firm, Dovitis.

The Mauser-Daudeteau rifle does not have a conventional bayonet lug, so cannot mount this bayonet. The bayonets supplied with Mauser-Daudeteau rifles look just like the French M1886 bayonet, except they have a depression in the left grip for the Mauser-Daudeteau's cleaning rod.

The Uruguyan M1900 bayonet appears to be a Mauser-Daudeteau blade, re-hilted for use with the Mauser M1895 rifle. A picture at left, shows the Uruguay M1900 bayonet mounted to M1895 Mauser rifle. The scabbard is identical to the French M1886, but is unmarked.
