Original U.S. Rare Export Russian Contract Model 1895 Winchester Bayonet
-
Original item: Only One Available. This is a very rare and gorgeous Model 1895 Winchester bayonet, for the extremely scarce Winchester Model 1895 Lever Action Rifle. Between 1915 and 1917 approximately 294,000 M1895's were manufactured for the airforce and police units of the Russian Empire, accounting for about 70% of total production of the rifles prior to 1932 when the M1895 was discontinued. Chambered in 7.62×54mmR, these versions were unusual for a lever-action rifle in that they also had a charger guide, allowing the M1895 rifle to be reloaded by the same charger clips used in the Mosin–Nagant bolt-action rifle.
The steel is bright and the bayonet has a 16" blade, with an overall length of 20 1/2". The grips are wood secured by two rivets, ground smooth. It does not have a serial number and comes in its original steel scabbard with an integral leather belt frog. The top of the crossguard is clearly marked WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. There is a bit of oxidation on the hilt and blade, but for a bayonet without a scabbard, it’s in good shape.
Please see Watts & White’s wonderful work THE BAYONET BOOK, Page 432, item 916 in the U.S. Section.
Very rare and in wonderful collector's condition, ready to display!
