It is a Mosin-Nagan bayonet?  |

| From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosin%E2%80%93Nagant#World_War_I The Mosin–Nagant (Russian: Винтовка Мосина, ISO 9: Vintovka Mosina) is a bolt-action, internal magazine fed, military rifle used by the armed forces of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and various other nations.

| You can tell after the design that it's an old type of bayonet, since most world war 2 bayonets, looked like combat knifes. |

| It's a Mosin Nagant md 91/30, the main bayonet used by the URSS army in WWII. It's an evolution of the Mosin Nagant md 1891 bayonet. On today's market in Romania it's worth about 50lei. As it appears in very good condition it was reblued after the war when it was refurbished. Because it's very rough finished it's war time manufacturing probably 1942 or 1943. In the clear photos I cannot see any markings, these bayonets were manufactured by Tula (a small hammer stamp) and Ishevsk (a arrow in a triangle stamp). These bayonets did not have a scabbard in Russian service but other countries that used the did made scabbards for them (Romania, Bulgaria, Germany and others). |

Not necessarily, as the .303 British Mk. 4 Lee-Enfield bayonet of WW2 period had no handle and was useless for anything else other than when being fixed to the barrel of the rifle. Many thanks for your help with regards this, it appears never to have been used, but has no scabbard / cover. Kevin in Deva. |

I know, that's why I said most, since there were still a few using this kind of design  . Anyway it is still a nice find, regardless of value today, it's still a piece of history. |
