General information :

The quality of this bayonet is very high like the other Argentinian bayonets made by the German company Weyersberg, Kirschbaum und Cie. Modelo Argentino 1891 with aluminium handles were intended for use by the regular army while the brass handled models were to be used by the Argentinian navy or police.

This bayonet was equipped with a steel scabbard.

When Argentina sold thousands of these bayonets from their old arsenals to surplus wholesalers or other countries, they often ground down the Argentinian crests that figured on the ricasso of their bayonets.
