Original Spanish Model 1893 bayonet with leather scabbard, manufactured by Artillería Fábrica de Toledo (AFT) for the 7×57mm Mauser rifle. Adopted in the 1890s, these bayonets saw long service life from the Spanish–American War (1898) through colonial campaigns such as the Rif War (1920s) and into the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), making them a quintessential piece of Spanish military history.
Typical examples feature a robust blade with a pronounced fuller, a reliable press–stud locking mechanism that engages securely, and scabbards in dyed leather with steel fittings. Many carry desirable AFT Toledo marks and period proof stamps, adding to their authenticity and collector appeal.
