The crossguard is very small. It does not protrude much. The scabbard and crossguard are numbered but do not match. The scabbard is of metal construction. A stude come out of one side and locks the bayonet in place when stowed away. It appears that there may have been a stud that was ground off on one side of the scabbard.

The blade is of single edge. a marking is found on one side. A blood groove is present and extends most of the length of the blade.
