Could be, it sounds all spiffy! Wonder if it has a blade or a spike bayonet? They took them off the later imports, I read. Bastards! Mine was a spike, probably a VN bringback, beat up but still battleworthy.

Spike bayonet. Pinned, not riveted. All numbers match, no grind-offs. Stock numbers match as well. I’m thinking this was unissued before it came over here. I’ve seen the ones that are coming back from China as surplus. They are rode hard and put away wet.

I own an Argentine Mauser from 1891.
Other than the ground off crest, it's probably had 50 or fewer rounds thru it.
