Original WWI Austrian Mauser Bayonet Model 1912 Export

Description

Up for sale is a nice example of an Austrian export bayonet that was pressed into service when Austria entered WWI. These bayonet were made for other nations under contract, however when the war started those contracts were canceled and these bayonets saw service in the trenches against the Italians in 1915. This model bayonet is for a 7mm Mauser, and commonly known as the model 1898 (rifle). Very cool piece of history!
