WW2 Turkish Mauser AS.FA German Made Bayonet NO SCABBARD

The WW2 Turkish Mauser AS.FA German Made Bayonet is an original military surplus item associated with Turkish armed forces during and after the Second World War. Manufactured in Germany, this bayonet was designed for use with Turkish Mauser rifles, notably models converted or produced in the interwar and WWII periods. The blade features the AS.FA marking, indicating the affiliation with the Turkish Army Factory (Askari Fabrika), commonly seen on reissued or refurbished equipment. The bayonet is constructed with a full steel blade and metal pommel, paired with wooden grip scales attached by rivets. This specimen is offered without a scabbard. Such bayonets were standard-issue sidearms, intended for close combat and utility purposes. Dimensions and specific characteristics may vary slightly due to production differences among the various German manufacturers contracted by Turkey. This bayonet reflects a period of military collaboration and arms modernization in Turkey’s mid-20th century history.
