Original Imperial German WWI M-1871 Mauser "Walking Out" Etched Parade Dress Bayonet with Scabbard British Uniform and everything is vintage exceptOriginal Item: Only One Available. Commonly referred to as a "walking out" Bayonet, this edged weapon was never designed to actually fit on any rifle even the Mauser 1871 model after which it is named.

These usually have a higher quality finish than the issue M 71 Bayonet, and this example has a lovely etched blade. There are panels on both sides
