*Rare* German Made Model 1895 Chilean Mauser Bayonet with Scabbard and Frog. BAYO 400. - BAYO 400 Here is a rare bayonet used by the Boer forces. It is also known as the Chilean Mauser bayonet, simply because most of these bayonets never made it into the ZAR. The Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek’s port (Lourenco Marques, now Maputo in Mozambique – former Greek colony) was blockaded by the British fleet and consequently the consignment was sent to Chile. A good, untouched example of a Model 1895 Chilean Mauser Bayonet, for use on the 7mm Mauser Rifle. These bayonets were produced from 1895–1901. This example was made under contract by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co of Solingen, Germany (Weyersberg, Kirschbaum, and Cie. was founded in 1883 with the merger of two family-owned sword manufacturing and marketing companies in Solingen, Germany: Gebruder Weyersberg, founded by Wilhem, Peter and Johann Ludwig Weyersberg in 1787 and WR Kirschbaum & Cie, founded by Wilhem Reinhordt Kirschbaum. The newly founded company used traditional techniques for sword making and each of their then employees specialised in one task in the sword making process. This was in accordance to the Division of Labour act devised by the Sword makers Guild of Soligen). The fullered blade is marked WEYERSBURG KIRSCHBAUM & Co SOLINGEN to one side with the three intertwined circles on the ricasso which are the trademark of the famous steelworks, Krupp (pronounced 'Kroop'), who supplied the blade steel. The three rings symbolized the Radreifen—the seamless railway wheels patented in 1851 by Alfred Krupp. At the turn of the Century, when these bayonets were made, Krupp was the largest company in Europe, and Chilean crest. The blade length is 25cm (37 ¼ cm overall). The wooden grips are held with two pins are showing signs of age and use but are solid. The steel scabbard has ‘E6134’ to the frog stud. The webbing frog is in good order. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 400 (Other Countries Box 2) £275.00 |
