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). Later models had the quillon cut off, press catch modified and the blade length cut down. This one has all three of those modifications. Overall, this bayonet is in Fair - Good condition, considering its age and history. The press catch is functional with stiff spring tension. Both the brass alloy grip and steel guard are securely fastened to the tang. They have scattered impact marks, oxidation and scrapes. The remaining finish has started to turn a darker gray patina color. The knife is straight and shows no sign of warpage. The cruciform blade has been cut down from its original length, the quillon removed and the press catch has been upgraded. The blade has scattered oxidation. The blade's cutting edges have no nicks or dings. The tip is intact and comes to a sharp straight point. The finish was in the white but has turned a darker patina color. The ricasso is marked "L" and "P". The area where the quillon was cut down is marked with a serial number that is slightly hard to read, it looks like a couple letters and "4279". There is also an "M" within a circle. This bayonet will be a great addition to your French Lebel rifle, or bayonet collection in general.
