In 1935 the French military had a number of 1886 bayonets modified by having their long blades shortened to 35.5cm, thus resulting in the 1886/35 Lebel bayonet.
The 1886/35 bayonets were used by by the French during the early part of Word War II.
Bayonet is in very good condition and comes with its original steel scabbard and brown leather frog.
