159 - Rare Yatagan bayonet for a Perrin revolver carbine, total length 655 mm, including a 540 mm blade; the back of the blade bears the number 426; the one-piece handle, cast as a single unit with the blade, forms the bayonet scabbard; a machined mortise inside the sheath allows the mounting square to pass through to a position where rotating the open sheath secures the bayonet, which is held in place by a spring-loaded piece screwed onto the back of the blade, acting like a rifle pin. No scabbard. Two hallmarks on the right side of the blade’s ricasso, one a “B” surmounted by a star within an oval and another “B” also surmounted by a star.
