Product Overview
The included steel scabbard is fitted with a webbing frog for attachment to a standard-issue belt. Issued predominantly during the 1960s, this bayonet saw service within the Canadian Army and other Canadian Forces branches during training and operational deployments. The overall design reflects NATO-standardization efforts of the time, paralleling similar bayonet patterns used by allied nations.
The Canadian Forces FN C1 Bayonet with Scabbard, dated 1960 and complete with frog, is a standard-issue military edged weapon designed for use with the FN C1 rifle, the Canadian variant of the FN FAL. The bayonet features a 7-inch steel blade with a spear-point profile, single fuller, and a blued finish, typical of Cold War-period Canadian military equipment. The handle consists of two-piece checkered plastic grip panels secured by screws, and the cross guard incorporates a muzzle ring for attachment to the rifle. The Ricasso is marked with the date of manufacture.
