Hi
Yataghan style bayonets were across the nations

Britain had them on the Snider and enfield rifles
Austria had them on the Werndl rifle
the most common is indeed the French Chespot model 1866 bolt-action
very very comon with the brass handle
and of the top of my ghead the Turks had them

The unshortened Werndl's are a lot rarer but do exist

Hope this adds more flesh to the story
regards
Ken
