This Swiss Model 1957-90 bayonet made by Waffenfabrik Bern is in excellent condition. The blade markings indicate the blade was supplied by Victorinox. This appears to be a later model from the 1970s for the STGW57 rifle / Sturmgewehr 57 / PE57 series rifles. This model is designated 1957-90 reflecting an older 1970s bayonet paired with the scabbard and frog from the 1990s.

The blade point is excellent, the edges very good with only a minor ding near the tip, edges show no rolling, blade sides have minor staining and abrasions. The guard is very good with minor wear and minor staining. The grip is good with minor wear. The pommel has minor wear and minor staining.

This bayonet comes with a scabbard and frog. The scabbard is black plastic with surface wear and scratches. The frog is excellent, green plastic, with almost no wear.
