This piece represents a First World War Era , M1903 Turkish Mauser Ersatz Bayonet- that was officially subject to conversion during the early 1960s by the Turkish Armed Forces.
The conversion required the mounting of an additional, lower muzzle ring - to facilitate secure fitting to the G1 ( FN FAL 7.62mm) West German supplied Assault Rifles. These pieces are few in Number and were eventually replaced by the appropriate G1 German Bayonet.
The ideal addition to any World War I Era / Cold War European Bayonet collection or display- for the enthusiast seeking a unique period piece for their assortment.
