This is a nice example of a ‘1908/34’ Brazilian bayonet. These bayonets were made to fit the ’30-06 Calibre short rifle (The Mosquetão Itajubá M1934 was a 08/34 short rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield adopted by Brazil in 1934). Although the rifles were made in Brazil the bayonets were made in Czechoslovakia. These bayonets were similar to the ‘1908’ pattern but had a longer blade to make up for the shorter length of the ‘M1934’ rifle. The scabbard is also similar to the ‘1908’ pattern with a leather body but with heavily blued steel mounts instead of the brass mounts on the ‘M1908’. The blade is in very good condition with staining conducive with its age. The wooden grips, leather and metalwork on the scabbard are in good order with minor scuffs. See ‘An illustrated history of bayonets’ pages 38 & 39. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 602.
