Darktide Posted August 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2020 These seem to be popping up on blade/ militaria forums & groups in the Philippines. They are more often than not, for sale. I'm sure these are fake. Too many things wrong. Where are these being made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militariaone Posted August 15, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 15, 2020 Greetings, These contraptions/contrivances have been around since 2016. Initially, they were imported from the United Kingdom and were often made from surplussed Swedish Mauser carbine M94/14-bayonets & scabbards. Back in 2016, these were pretty much confined to UK auction houses. But over the last two years they have been coming out of Thailand with just the scabbards being original Swedish surplus and the blades being newly made. Not sure if they came to the UK from places in the East or if their manufacturing migrated from Europe to the East as original Swedish bayonet blades dried up. Yes, they are fake.....but they sell so they continue to be made. Best, V/r Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktide Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted August 15, 2020 Thank you for the reply. The seller insists it's real based on this which he found on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

militariaone Posted August 16, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 16, 2020 Well if the seller is internet savvy, send them this link https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/196382-m1918-mk-i-trench-knife-comparing-originals-to-your-“suspect”-knife-thread/page/4/ and direct them to the seventh post from the top of the page. Posted about this fake back in 2016. If that doesn't cause them pause, then there's no convincing them otherwise. Best, V/r Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
