I recently bought an 1893 Turk Mauser, (1933 rearsenal to 8mm mauser and 1903 semi-pistol grip stock) That I am refinishing and getting some of the "proper" odds and ends for (sling, cleaning rod, bayo, etc) but cant seem to find out whick bayonet style/length would be "most correct".There seem to be 3 types common:
1) 9.5" or so blade with no handguard
2)20" or so blade with long, curverd handguard on one side above handle
3)longer or foreign capture blade cut down or modified to fit 1893 bayo lug
Does anyone have any idea as to which of #1 or #2 would have been correct for an 1893? Cant seem to find the info anywhere. Does it really even matter with all the re-arsenaling (ie: will both #1 and #2 fit, and either is just as "correct"., so just pick one?)
Thanks
