Mervyn Mitton Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I believe this to be the French Lebel bayonet - date on blade shows approved pattern in 1886. Was this for the Minie rifle , or , musket?
Mervyn Mitton Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 I think Maitre d'Armes means master of arms in the town of St. Etienne?
Michael Johnson Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Manufacture des Armes de St Etienne - St. Etienne Arsenal, or Arms Factory.It is for the Gras rifle.
