Hi, Mike and Pahoo,

I am not sure, but note that the "C" type has a different method of attaching the scales. The bayonet in question appears to be an "A" type but with a much cruder appearance. The ones I have seen were very nicely made, just like the German-made Mauser bayonets and our Krag and Springfield bayonets. One problem I have is that the arsenal mark is very shallow; the original marks were deep, put on before the blade was hardened.

The repros have been of the hooked "A" type for obvious reasons - they look "cool".

Jim
