The M1874 scabbard has the French frog loop replaced with a stylized brass frog stud and a brass chape added to close the shortened scabbard body.Īccording to the Museo Histórico Carabineros de Chile (Carabineros Historical Museum of Chile), this sidearm was designated Carabineros Yataghan 1908. The blade is shortened and the muzzle ring adjustment screw ground flush. This sidearm utilizes the blade and crosspiece of the French M1874 Gras sword bayonet, mated to a cast brass hilt. Sidearm made from the French M1874 Gras sword bayonet and scabbard. The black-painted scabbard is not the typical Chilean M1895 scabbard, but appears to be the type used with the German M1884/98 Second Pattern bayonet.

This example has been nickel-plated for parade use.
