Italian 1870/15 Vetterli Bayonet.

WW1 conversion of the Italian 1870 bayonet for the Vetterli-Vitali rifle. A shortage of weaponry in Italy during WW1 brought about this conversion for fitting to a rechambered 6.5mm Vetterli rifle. Considered unwieldy in it's original form the blade was cut down and blued overall with similar modifications to the scabbard. Manufacturer marked showing the marks used by Fabbrica d'arms Brescia with other issue and inspection marks to bayonet and scabbard. Good, clean condition.
