這就是中法戰爭之中,法軍裝備的刺刀. 與1874 Gras 步槍配合使用.This bayonet was made to fit the French Model 1874 "Gras" Infantry Rifle. It has a solid brass pommel with a push-button/spring-steel latch. It was used extensively in the Sino-French war.
From a description on this site:
"Grips are wood. Crossguard is steel, usually "blued," with upper guard being the muzzle-ring, lower guard forming a hooked "blade-breaker" quillon.
"Blades are steel - well made - and triangular (3-edge) in form (very sturdy as a thrusting weapon). The blades are usually marked on the back-edge (opposite the bottom cutting edge) with the arsenal, month, and year of manufacture; this is done in engraved cursive fashion and will appear something like, "Mre d' Armes de St. Etienne Janvier 1874" or perhaps "Mre d' Armes de Chatellerault Juin 1882". Contrary to novice speculation, this is not the name of a lieutenant or major, nor is it a presentation date; in reality - as previously stated - it is the the exact month, year, and location of manufacture...
"The scabbards are usually blued sheet-rolled steel, semi-oval, tubular, with a ball finial."
