Original Italian M1870 Vetterli Rifle Early Long Spring Bayonet by Turin Arsenal - Unaltered Military Audio then sailed to Pearl HarborOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a nice example of the sword bayonet for use with the 10. 4 mm. M1870 Vetterli and M1870 87 Vetterli Vitali rifles. This is an example with the early pattern long spring for the bayonet catch, though it does have the cut out lower muzzle ring that was introduced in 1875, as indicated by Anthony Carter in his work World Bayonets 1800 to the Present. This example also still has its original composition grip
