Falklands war bring back Argentinian FAL Bayonet
Knife bayonet for use on the 7.62 mm. NATO caliber Fabrique Nationale - Fusil Automatique Leger (Light Automatic Rifle), or FN–FAL, selective-fire rifle.
According to Argentine collector-researcher Gustavo Pablo Fierro, Argentina began using the FAL in the late 1950s, first purchasing them from FN, then assembling rifles in Argentina. Similarly, bayonets were first purchased and later manufactured in Argentina at the Domingo Matheu Factory in SantaFe.
Argentine-made scabbards are more pointed, while European-made scabbards are more radiused.
This is a very good example of an Argentinian manufactured FAL bayonet with matching number scabbard retaining 90% of it's original gray/green finish.
