Spanish CETME FR8 Mauser Bayonet With Scabbard

The Spanish CETME FR8 Mauser Bayonet with Scabbard is a military issue bayonet developed for use with the CETME Model FR8 rifle, which was adopted by Spain in the mid-20th century. This bayonet is based on earlier Spanish Mauser bayonet designs and is compatible with the CETME FR8 as well as some standard Mauser rifles. The bayonet features a single-edged, spear-point blade measuring approximately 8.25 inches in length. Its hilt is equipped with wooden grip panels secured by two rivets, and a standard release button for attaching and detaching from the rifle’s bayonet lug. The accompanying scabbard is constructed from steel with an integral belt loop and closure device, designed for secure carry and protection of the blade. Both the bayonet and scabbard display typical Spanish military markings, which may include arsenal stamps and serial numbers. This item is of interest to collectors of post-WWII European military equipment and Spanish service.
