Austrian Ersatz Modification of a M1867 n/s.

Reference: ABC N 1273

These fit on the Austrian version of the 1888 Commission rifle. The cross guard is bent back to fit against the barrel jacket of the 88 rifle. The pommel has been shaved as well. These do not fit on the German 88 rifles but the Austrian version uses a slightly narrower bayonet lug that fits these bayonets. The hilt and scabbard were painted white a very long time ago. Most of the paint is gone. The scabbard frog stud is missing. A very scarce model.

Condition: G+
