Description

The P13/17 bayonet was intended for the US 1917 Enfield rifle and became surplus after WWII. The bayonets were sold to France post war and cut down as fighting knives by Foreign Legion and special army units such as Paratroop and Marine forces. Sometimes seen in photos of French forces in Indochina. Eight inch long blade. Steel scabbard has been made from a steel scabbard with frog stud from another steel scabbard sleeved onto it. Researchable and interesting post WWII collectable.
