Knife bayonet for use on the 11.15 mm. (.43 caliber) Mauser M1871/84 repeating rifle. Venezuela acquired 27,000 M1871/84 rifles from German Army stocks in 1900. These bayonets were most likely made in Belgium. Originally made with a hooked quillion, many (such as this example) subsequently had the quillion removed. Like the M1871/84 rifle, these bayonets exhibit some of the finest workmanship to be found on a military weapon. Just beautiful. |

M1924/49 | Sword bayonet for use on the Saive Automatique, Fabrique Nationale (SAFN) Modèle 1949 self-loading rifle produced by FN for Venezuela in the 1950s. Approximately 8,000 SAFN rifles were made for Venezuela, chambered in 7 x 47 mm. Venezuela felt the Belgian M1949 knife bayonet was too short and opted for a modification of the old Belgian M1924 Mauser Export bayonet instead. In fact, the M1924/49 bayonet is identical to the Mauser version, except for the much larger muzzle ring. |
