Soviet The Soviet bayonet for Mosin's rifle

[Sergey]

I wish to show the Soviet bayonet for Mosin's rifle made in the surrounded Leningrad. It is rare enough version of a bayonet for the widespread Soviet rifle.In Russia it name blocadnik (блокадник).

I have not seen any made like this before.

Was this example ground recovered?

Interesting bayonet.

Looks like an svt40 blade welded to a mosin nagant mount. I suppose they used what they had.

Yes it is possible to see two parts. The first the basis from a needle of a rifle of Mosin. Second -an edge from Tokarev's rifle.However an edge longer than at SVT-40. This edge is more than the edge of a bayonet SVT.This edge is more similar to an edge of a German carbine

[Sergey]

Here for comparison - bayonets SVT-40, a carbine 98 and blocadnic

It does look a lot like an SVT bayonet. IT is an undisputed Soviet MN bayonet, whatever the variation. Thank you for sharing it!

Thanks and to you for interest to a theme

It seems odd to make a blade like that when metal was scarce. Surely some kind of simple spike would have been more logical.

I think what to make edges simple work if to compare to a needle. However I shall try to find the literature on the reason of such decision
