Rare Pre Ww1 Wwi Spanish 1907 Artillery Bolo Short Sword With Leather Scabbard
RARE PRE WW1 WWI SPANISH 1907 ARTILLERY BOLO WITH LEATHER SCABBARD (NOT A BAYONET). Popular with collectors, this is a bolo knife not a bayonet. It is characterized by a hooked pommel which does a very good job of keeping the bolo from slipping out of the hand. Also characteristic are the checkered wooden grips and a tang mounted scabbard lock. The lock has a weak spring on this one and doesn't catch the inside lip of the scabbard. All metal parts except the blade are blued. The scabbard is leather with blued metal throat and metal tip.

(The Spanish M1941 Bayonet for the M1943 Short Rifle was inspired by the 1907 Artillery Bolo). Right ricasso: "ARTILLERIA FABRICA DE TOLEDO" with CROSSED CANNONS inside a rectangle. Left side of guard: "U". Spanish M 1907 Artillery hanger, not a bayonet. Bright fullered sharpened bolo blade.

Maker's name FABRICA de TOLEDO in a box on the ricasso, s# on the reverse side. Excellent darkened curved pommel and cross guard with quillons on both sides.

Cross guard is marked 28. Excellent checkered wooden grips secured with two large screws to the blade tang. Excellent black leather scabard with (blued) mounts and all stitches intact.

Hanger is fixed in the scabbard with a smart device. BLADE HAS TURNED FROM BEING IN THE LEATHER SCABBARD BUT IS NOT PITTED. COULD BE IMPROVED WITH A ROTATING SOFT BRASS BRUSH.

RETAINS ALL THE ORIGINAL BLUEING ON THE GUARD, POMMEL, EXPOSED TANG AND GRIP SCREWS. MOST OF THE ORIGINAL BLUEING REMAINS ON SCABBARD THROAT AND TIP.

LEATHER SCABBARD IS BETTER THAN MOST WITH GOOD BLACK LEATHER FINISH AND GOOD SPINE STITCHING. METAL THROAT AND METAL TIP ARE RIVETED TO THE LEATHER BY TWO RIVETS EACH.
