Turkish bayonets

This page is under construction and captions and notes of historical interest will be added.

The red numbers in Italics on the bayonet pages correspond to the page numbers in Janzen's bayonet notebook. The red underlined numbers correspond to the item number on that page.

The yellow designations on some of these bayonets denotes bayonets that were the ones photographed for Dennis (Otto) Ottobre's "Observations on Turkish Bayonets" . Even if you don't collect Turkish bayonets you must get this CD just to see the lengths a determined people will go to equip their soldiers.

No barrel ring notches and no blade fullers.


No barrel ring notches but blade fullers present.

These first three bayonets are not in Janzen's notebook but appear to be for the G1 and/or G3 rifles. Just three of several variants of this bayonet for these rifles.
