patina spots
and light

wear. The metal on the handle area is very nice. Overall, all of the metal surfaces are very clean. The wood grips are nice and secure with very little wear
and no cracking
. The push button works as expected.
There is a stamp on the opposite side where the other end pushes out.
The top
edge
stampings are not deep so parts are not very visible but there is clearly a
B

and parts of other letters and symbols. The manufacturer markings are very deep and readable. Overall, this is a very nice looking bayonet.
