Can anyone ID this bayonet for me?

Post by Mario »

Picked this up for about $30 at an antique shop. If any of you could ID the markings for me, I’d appreciate it. Looks like someone tried to sharpen the blade and gave it a bit of a banana curve.

Okay, did a little digging and it appears this is a Spanish Toledo bayonet. This particular model was used in WWII. Don’t know if this is an original or a replica. It looks and feels like the real thing. And yes, they all have that curve in the blade so it’s not a botched sharpening job.

Looks original to me Mario and a very nice bayonet for the price you paid ,a bit later than ww2 I think ,
I had a wooden gripped example when I ws younger with the same curved Bolo blade ,think it ws marked FN.

Hope your well

I believe it may be a more modern Spanish CETME rifle bayonet.

Yes Bill is right, its a Spanish CETME bayonet, the blade looks full and is supposed to have the bolo shape.
