South African "Transvaal (OVS)" Model 1896 "Sawback" Bayonet |
These bayonets are very similar to the
German Infantry-Gewehr Model 1871 Bayonet
and the
German Model 1871 "Hirschfanger" Bayonet; the
German influence is very apparent. The obvious difference is the rearward-swept
lower quillon (the reverse of the German Model 1871). |
