Canadian Forces FN C1 Bayonet With Scabbard 1957 Dated With Frog Sharpened MISSING BARREL MOUNT

The Canadian Forces FN C1 Bayonet With Scabbard, dated 1957, was designed for use with the FN C1 rifle, the Canadian variant of the FN FAL adopted in the late 1950s. This example includes the original scabbard and standard-issue web frog, facilitating attachment to a belt or load-bearing equipment. The blade has been field-sharpened, which is consistent with period practice. Notably, this bayonet is missing the barrel mount, which would normally attach the bayonet securely to the rifle muzzle. The steel blade features the typical fullered, double-edged design, and the hilt is constructed from steel with black composite grips. Markings indicating Canadian military issue and the 1957 manufacture date are present, affirming its period authenticity. This bayonet represents a standard element of Canadian Cold War-era infantry equipment, offering a representative example of issued field gear, albeit incomplete due to the absent barrel mount.
