Bayonet - country of origin?

Post by Jtx »

Anyone know what country this bayonet is from? It has 42aSW and 7410/d stamped on the blade. Can't see any other markings. It is 15" overall length. Thanks for looking.

I'm not very well versed on military pieces but it looks like a Spanish Mauser bayonet.

Thanks for that information. I also wonder how old it is.
