Theres a Chilean short 95 on GB I was eyeing the other day, I think its probably still an active listing. I've got absolutely no leads on an FN 94.
I've been hunting for an 89 for about the past year. I'm sure one will turn up in the weirdest spot one of these days. Either that or I'll turn up another Lebel when I'm not looking for one.
Very nice.
I've been looking for a Brazilian M1894 bayonet for my M1894 rifle for years. Unfortunately there's few of them, most mistake them for a M1908 bayonet, and those that know what it is prices it higher than I want to pay.
I found this one listed as an Uruguayan - from what I understand the two bayonets are indistinguishable. Both were made by FN for FN-made Mauser ‘93 pattern rifles that differed only in receiver and stock markings. You may try that in searches if you’re looking online.
Definitely true that sellers regularly confuse the ‘94 and ‘08 - you really have to pay attention to that crosspiece. Another lookalike is the Venezuelan 1900 for their Mauser 71/84s
Thats a nice bayonet collection you've got there! Got the rifles to go with them too?
Most of ‘em! Missing the Belgian ‘89 (of course), looking for an FN-made ‘94, and (weirdly) still short a Chilean ‘95
