Fernando, if you note the text in my post you might notice that I have specified images 222,223 as examples of the ITALIAN folding bayonet which pertain to the discussion here. I imaged both pages of the book to include the necessary captioned text, but did not redact the unfortunately placed image of the 'other' bayonet as it seemed obvious what detail was intended.
Mea Culpa.
While this example in discussion MAY be a private fabrication, it may as well be a prototype for possible production. The objective was to show that this feature DID exist in pattern production, again though in 'modern' period.
