Vintage 60s Turkish Army G1 Double Ring Ersatz-Style Bayonet, Scabbard & Frog

Description

This Vintage 60s Turkish Army G1 Double Ring Ersatz-Style Bayonet is in good condition overall but does show expected signs of age and service. The blade is unmarked but does appear to have a faint stamp on it's spine near the crossguard that could be an Imperial German "Crown." Production of this model is thought to have begun in 1965 and ended sometime in the 1970s. The blade has been sharpened and there is evidence of past service present but overall shows no signs of abuse or neglect. Traces of a blued finish can be noticed but most appears to have worn off during service. A serial number is stamped on the handle, this appears to be a common identifier for this model. The press stud on the pommel is free and appears to function as you would expect. The scabbard is in good condition overall but shows signs of service and reworking as is to be expected. No serious dents or other damage is present. The leather belt frog appears to be a Yugoslavian M1948 and has a "BK" stamp on the belt loop. The leather shows wear and age but is in serviceable condition. The front hole where the scabbard frog stud fits through has been torn. Please examine the photographs carefully for the best description of condition.
