HISTORICAL CONTEXT :



Bayonet Mle 86 (1886). Called “Lebel” after the rifle manufacturer. She will also be colloquially called “Rosalie”. It is a sword-bayonet type weapon, with a straight blade, having four hollow sections of cruciform section with a short non-hollowed heel with a length of 52 cm. Intended to be placed under the barrel (this was a novelty at the time) the nickel silver handle and the attachment to the rifle were of a new design. The handle has a quillon curved towards the blade. The blade is held to the handle by the screw limiting the movement of the ferrule and by a rivet at the heel.

As for the nickname "Rosalie", invented by the singers in the vein of the comic trouper, it was very moderately used by the Poilus. You have to be a public entertainer from the rear to imagine that the infantryman considers his bayonet as a companion and gives him an affectionate nickname accordingly."



Total length: 65.6 cm

Length without sheath: 61.52 cm

Blade length: 50.45 cm

Handle length: 11.7 cm

Blade width: 1.4 cm
