EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a First World War French Mannlicher Berthier Infantry rifle bayonet, bearing the unique identification number 24557. The Mannlicher-Schönauer design, adopted by the French military in 1898, was a significant improvement over its predecessors due to its locking mechanism that ensured a secure connection between the rifle and the bayonet. During the First World War, this bayonet was a crucial component of the French infantry's arsenal, providing close combat capabilities when bullets ran short. The Mannlicher Berthier bayonet is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation that shaped the military landscape during the early 20th century. Its sleek, elegant design, with a distinctive curved blade and a sturdy, ribbed grip, reflects the meticulous craftsmanship of its era. The number 24557, etched into the hilt, serves as a reminder of its military history and the countless battles it may have witnessed. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich military history of the First World War, a period marked by unprecedented technological advancements and the clash of empires. The Mannlicher Berthier Infantry rifle bayonet, with its timeless design and historical significance, stands as a symbol of the courage and determination of the soldiers who wielded it.
