The Russian Empire. Bayonet of the 1915 model (long) for a Winchester rifle of the 1895 model.

The bayonet was used with the American Winchester rifle of the 1895 model, supplied to the Russian Army from 1915 to 1917. A total of 293,815 rifles were delivered. The first 15,000 rifles were equipped with a short bayonet, the rest with a long one. A number of rifles with long bayonets did not have time to be delivered to Russia before the revolution of 1917 and they entered the market of hunting and collectible weapons.

The blade of the bayonet is single-edged, with a dale on both sides. The handle of the blade is formed by two wooden cheeks fastened to the shank with two rivets. In the handle head there is a T-shaped groove and a spring latch with an internal arrangement of a spiral spring. The crosspiece is straight with a ring for the barrel on the side of the blade butt. The marking consists of the inscription “Winchester Repeating Arms Co” on the crosspiece of the bayonet.

The total length is 520 mm. The length of the blade is 400 mm.
