Original Item: Very few available. I.M.A. has received a small delivery of these exceptionally rare bayonets. First introduced in 1886 with a white alloy hilt and hooked quillon, this bayonet was further developed with new versions in 1893 and 1907, which was a brass hilted version without quillon.
In 1916 this VERY RARE STEEL HILTED version was introduced. Known as the “Roseallie” for the cross entry wound this weapon made. Features a 20 1/2 inch cruciform needle blade with a black painted all steel grip.
Overall length is 25 inches.
In fine condition the very few we have are all complete with steel scabbards, ready to display.
