These were used from WWI through the fall of France in 1940. These saw use by troops in the French colonies as well. The cruciform blade was used until 1956. There were two main manufacturers, Manufacture D'Armes St. Etienne (MAS) and Manufacture Nationale d'Armies de Chatellerault (MAC). This bayonet is NON-FUNCTIONAL. It appears to have been in a fire, or possibly improperly stored, the press catch is rusted shut and does not rotate. Overall, this bayonet is in Poor - Fair condition. If used for decoration or a display this would still be a nice piece, but it is non-functional. The press catch is rusted in place and does not move. Both the brass grip and guard are securely fastened to the tang. The grip has impact marks and has started tarnish. The guard has a lot of oxidation, and could have possibly been through a fire. The cruciform blade has light handling marks, but no notable wear. There is some scattered discoloration. The blade has been cut down from its original length and the quillon has been removed. The blades have their original factory edge. The tip is intact and comes to a sharp straight point. Most of the blade is still in the white. The left side of the grip is marked "4. 178". There are no other visible markings. The scabbard is in Poor - Fair condition, considering its age. It also looks like it has gone through a fire, or improperly stored. Although, there is no burnt fire smell (on either the scabbard or the guard of the bayonet). The entire scabbard appears oxidized and there is pitting throughout. But, there are no crack, chips, dents or dings. The bayonet slides in and out easily. This bayonet and scabbard will be a great addition to your French Lebel rifle display, or bayonet collection in general.
