For your consideration, you are viewing an Antique piece of Military History, this bayonet is an Antique Circa 1916 French M1886 Lebel Shortened Brass Hilt Bayonet, this has NO scabbard. France adopted the Lebel Repeating Rifle in 1886 and at the same time Colonel Capdevielle designed the 4-sided quadriform bayonet for use with the Lebel, The French called this an épée bayonet, after the épée sword used in fencing, affectionately nicknamed “Rosalie” by the French troops, after a song. The Germans called them “Knitting Needles.” The M1886 was Frances's mainstay weapon during WWI, many were still in service up until the Fall of France in 1940. The Lebel was extensively used worldwide by troops in the French colonies including the Foreign Legion.

This bayonet in its day was considered an unusual design, because of its epee spiked blade, as knife blade bayonets were predominate, but also for its unusual rotating collar locking device. In 1893 the press stud for the rotating collar was changed. There are 2 different 1886 Lebel bayonets, both had 20.5 " / 52.7 cm blades, but were often found in shorter lengths as the blades were often reworked when the tip broke off in battle and the French also modified many of these bayonets in their arsenals in 1935 by shortening them (as is this example).

The earlier bayonets had a nickel-silver handle and a hooked quillon. By 1916, with the need to conserve nickel for the war effort, the handles were made of brass and were manufactured without the quillon, the French discovered the quillon was more likely to get caught on equipment than catch and break the thrust of an enemy bayonet. These Bayonets were also used in WW1. Manufactured from 1866 until after the introduction of the 1874 Gras.
