warpath Posted January 2, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2017 M1905 Bayonet dated 1906 with Unknown scabbard...Looks like a long Krag bayonet scabbard, but I haven't seen this variant and I initially thought it was foreign...Possibly a Winchester Model 1895 bayonet sheath...ID needed.

bayonetman Posted January 2, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2017 I agree. Scabbard is for the long version of the Model 1895 Winchester Musket Russian Contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted January 2, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2017 Ed-Model 1895 Winchester Musket bayonet scabbard sold to the Russians for their 16" Winchester or Remington Model 1895 bayonets. My thinking would be it got traded out for use with the US M1905 bayonet, which would fit nicely, by a member of the US Expeditionary Force sent to Russia in 1919 after his M1905 or M1910 scabbard wore out. It does look like an elongated Krag scabbard. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porterkids Posted January 2, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2017 I believe the scabbard is for a French Model 1914 Remington rolling block bayonet. I blew up the picture and it appears that the scabbard throat is retained by a slotted screw. The long Russian Model 1895 bayonet used the same scabbard but the throat is retained by a rivet.

warpath Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted January 2, 2017 Remington is most likely then. I found a similar example in Maddox Bayonets book. Thanks for the help. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solcarlus Posted January 3, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 3, 2017 Bonjour. Some time ago, I bought this set. The scabbard is for the Remington Rolling block rifle bayonet. Contract for the French army. Regards solcarlus. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/263999-bayonet-mod1905-question/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyrax222 Posted January 7, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 7, 2017 I am looking for a scaboard for a 1895 Winchester bayonet. Russian contract. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayonetman Posted January 7, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 7, 2017 I of course stand corrected about French vs Russian. Just outside of my field of interest and I did not know about the screw vs rivet situation. Thanks to those who corrected my error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
