Comentario I: Sable-Bayoneta construida totalmente en la República de Argentina con materiales de alta calidad, respetando el diseño de sus antecesoras fabricadas por la W.K.C. de Solingen (externamente dos excepciones solamente: parte de atrás del pomo levemente aplanada y vaina menos oblonga). Toda la estructura de la empuñadura muestra total robustez al igual que su hoja, incluso en ésta última puede observarse su excelente pulido. Dos características similares compartidas entre ésta ModArg09 D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. pre-5000 para el Ejército Argentino y la ModArg09 A.A.M.Z. para la Armada Argentina: 1_ la ranura de engarce del pomo de ambas son tipo T contraria a la T-U que poseen las ModArg09 germanas de la W.K.C. ya que las ModArg09 argentinas no poseen la cavidad interna de la espiga para introducir parte de la baqueta dentro de la empuñadura (acción necesaria en la 1ra Versión, aunque totalmente innecesaria con las dos variantes de la 2da Versión) por tal razón no se requieren los pequeños orificios de limpieza rectangulares bien cercanos a la guarda los cuáles son observados en las cachas de madera de las ModArg09 "Solingeneanas", 2_ la ausencia de los múltiples cuños observados en diferentes áreas de las bayonetas y vainas ModArg09 de W.K.C. en contraste con nuestras ModArg09 A.A.M.Z. y D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P., en las cuáles solamente se estamparon las marcas necesarias en ambos ricassos de sus hojas y en sus vainas entre el brocal y el botón de engarce para el tahalí. 
Comment I: Saber-Bayonet built entirely in the Republic of Argentina with high quality materials, respecting the design of its predecessors manufactured by the W.K.C. of Solingen (externally only two exceptions: a slightly flattened back of the pommel and a less oblong scabbard). The whole structure of the hilt shows overall sturdiness as well as its blade, even in this last one its excellent polishing is noticeable. Two similar features shared between of this D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. ModArg09 pre-5000 intended the Argentine Army and the A.A.M.Z. ModArg09 intended for the Argentine Navy: 1_ the pommels of both Argentinian ModArg09s have a T-type fixing slot, unlike the T-U of the German W.K.C. ModArg09s (since the Argentinian ModArg09s haven't the internal tang cavity to insert part of the cleaning rod inside the hilt, necessary action in the 1st Pattern, although totally unnecessary with the two variants from the 2nd Pattern, for that reason, the small rectangular cleaning holes which are very close to the crossguard and are observed on the wooden grips of the "Solingenean" ModArg09s, were definetely removed from the Argentinian ModArg09s), 2_ the absence of the multiple markings observed on different areas of the W.K.C. ModArg09s and scabbards, in contrast to our A.A.M.Z. and D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. ModArg09s, in which only the necessary marks were stamped on both ricassos of their blades and on their scabbards between the mouth piece and the adjusting oval button for fit the leather belt frog. 

Comentario II: ésta pieza pertenece a la época en que nuestra Siderurgia Argentina estaba en su gran Esplendor permitiéndonos en la actualidad enorgullecernos de la calidad del excelente Acero Argentino de varias décadas atrás, por tal razón, tanto la D.G.F.M. - F.M.A.P. (Dirección General de Fabricaciones Militares - Fábrica Militar de Armas Portátiles) como también el A.A.M.Z. (Arsenal Artillería de Marina Zárate) y sin olvidar a la porteña empresa privada J. C. SUÁREZ y Cía. serán siempre recordadas por haber logrado abastecer a nuestras Fuerzas con dignos y  excelentes productos tal como ésta bayoneta (Recuerden: J.C. Suárez y Cía no fabricó bayonetas "Modelo Argentino 1909", aunque sí Machetes de Artillería "Modelo Argentino 1909" sin embargo, en sus marcas no aparece mencionando el modelo al que pertenece, solamente las letras con puntos seguidos E.A). 
Comment II: this piece belongs to the era in which our Argentine Iron and Steel Industry was in its great Splendor, allowing us nowadays, to be proud of the quality of the excellent Argentine Steel from several decades ago, for this reason, both the D.G.F.M. - F.M.A.P. (General Directorate of Military Manufacturing - Military Factory of Portable Arms) as well as the A.A.M.Z. (Artillery Arsenal of Marina Zárate) and without forgetting the private company J. C. SUÁREZ y Cía. will always be remembered for having managed to supply our Forces with worthy and excellent products such as this bayonet (Remember: J.C. Suárez y Cia did not manufacture "Modelo Argentino 1909" bayonets, although they did manufacture "Modelo Argentino 1909" Artillery Machetes, however, in their marks doesn't appear mentioning the model to which it belongs, only the letters with followed dots E.A).

Aclaración I: puede observarse en ésta versión construida totalmente en Argentina cuatro características para tener en cuenta: 
1) la ranura de engarce al arma de fuego es en forma de T (y no T-U) resultando que su empuñadura sea 10 mm más corta en comparación con la empuñadura de la 1ra Versión, y permitiendo a su vez, carecer del canal interno para albergar la baqueta del arma de fuego ya que no resultaba necesario por haber sido destinada para acompañar exclusivamente a la Carabina de Caballería fabricada también por la D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. (en caso de ser requerida para engarzarse en el Fusil de Infantería ó en la Carabina de Ingenieros, se les debería colocar a esa armas de fuego el Adaptador Riccheri en el guión para la bayoneta); 2) la espiga de la hoja de las ModArg09 A.A.M.Z. y de las D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. dejó de poseer el canal interno para introducir la baqueta, por esa razón, las cachas de madera de ambas se aprecian sin los pequeños orificios rectangulares de limpieza que son apreciadas en las ModArg09 de W.K.C. presentes en la 1ra Versión como en las dos variantes de la 2da Versión; 3) el Escudo Nacional Argentino ubicado sobre el ricasso derecho de la hoja en las ModArg09 EA pre-5000 es la principal característica para reconocer si es EA previa ó posterior a 5.000 unidades ya que el Escudo de cualquier EA post-5000 es más delgado con una forma algo ovalada y no posee gran definición como el de ésta EA pre-5000; 4) las marcas sobre el ricasso izquierdo de la hoja de las ModArg09 EA pre-5000 son aparentemente similares a las que se pueden apreciar en las ModArg09 EA post-5000 sin embargo, si se comparan minuciosamente, encontrarán algunas diferencias apenas detectables en sus contornos posibilitándoles reconocer si se trata de una EA previa ó posterior a 5.000 unidades (he adjuntado algunas imágenes las cuáles les ayudarán perfectamente para detectar las características en las que hago hincapié). 
Clarification I: It can be seen in this Pattern built entirely in Argentina four characteristics to take into account:
1) the attaching slot to the firearm is T-shaped (and not T-U) resulting in its hilt being 10 mm shorter compared to the 1st Pattern hilt, and allowing, in turn, to lack the internal tang cavity to introduce the cleaning rod of the firearm since it wasn't necessary as it was intended to accompany exclusively the Cavalry Carbine also manufactured by the D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. (In case it is required to be attached to the Infantry Rifle or the Engineers Carbine, the Riccheri Adapter should be insert into the the bayonet stud of these firearms). 2) the blade tang from the A.A.M.Z. and the D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. ModArg09s have no more the internal channel to insert the cleaning rod, for that reason, the wooden grip scales of both can be seen without the small rectangular cleaning holes that are appreciated on the ModArg09s of W.K.C. and so present on the 1st Pattern as on the two variants of the 2nd Pattern; 3) the Argentine National Crest placed on the right ricasso on the ModArg09 EA pre-5000 blade is the main characteristic to recognize if it's an EA previous or posterior to 5,000 units since the Crest of any EA post-5000 is thinner with a shape somewhat oval and doesn't have great definition like that of this EA pre-5000; 4) the marks on the left ricasso from the ModArg09s EA pre-5000 blade are apparently similar to those that can be seen on the ModArg09s EA post-5000, however, if you compare them carefully, you will find some barely detectable differences around their contours and sizes allowing you to recognize if this is an EA previous or posterior to 5,000 units (I have added some images which will help you perfectly to detect the characteristics that I have emphasized).

Aclaración II: Gran parte de ésta investigación pueden encontrarla en el Excelente libro "BAYONETAS de la REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA" de los también Excelentes autores del mismo Mario A. Suffriti y Oscar C. Albino, en el cuál se muestra una clara y amplia clasificación de las bayonetas utilizadas en nuestras Fuerzas Armadas y también de Seguridad Nacional. Y otra Excelente fuente bibliográfica de enseñanza y orientación, en éste caso extranjera, es el libro "ARGENTINE MAUSER RIFLES 1871 - 1959" del también Excelente autor Colin Webster, en el cuál podrán obtener data sobre las bayonetas argentinas y también de los diferentes Fusiles y Carabinas Mauser que equiparon durante distintas décadas a las Fuerzas Argentinas (además, una impresionante información sobre los tipos de cartuchos de las armas de fuego estudiadas, documentación de distintas épocas, accesorios correspondientes a cada arma, maquinarias para estampar marcaciones, etc.). 
Clarification II: Much of this research can be found in the Excellent book "BAYONETAS de la REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA" by the Excellent authors of the same Mario A. Suffriti and Oscar C. Albino, which shows a clear and extensive classification of the bayonets used in our Armed Forces and also National Security. And another Excellent bibliographical source of teaching and guidance, in this case foreign, is the book "ARGENTINE MAUSER RIFLES 1871 - 1959" by the also Excellent author Colin Webster, in which you will be able to obtain data about the Argentine bayonets and also about the different Mauser Rifles and Carbines that equipped the Argentine Forces during different decades (in addition, an impressive information on the types of cartridges of the firearms studied, documentation from different periods, accessories corresponding to each weapon, machinery to stamp markings, etc.).

Nota Importante: posiblemente encuentren a ésta misma bayoneta en bibliografías especializadas no pertenecientes a la Argentina, denominada como Primer Modelo 1909/47, Arsenales D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P., Modelo Temprano del Ejército tal como lo ha especificado Colin Webster en su libro "Argentine Mauser Rifles 1871 - 1959" resultando correcto. Contrariamente, tienen la denominación ofrecida por Suffriti y Albino en su obra "Bayonetas de la República Argentina", en donde está especificada como Bayoneta Mauser Modelo Argentino 1909 Cuarto Modelo, resultando también correcto. La explicación es demasiado extensa pero de manera simplificada para que ustedes puedan comprender es que, al existir distintas Versiones y Variantes tanto las diseñadas, fabricadas, y ensambladas por W.K.C. de Solingen de Alemania como también las autóctonas construidas enteramente por el A.A.M.Z. y la D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. en Argentina es obvio de que cada autor de libros, revistas, manuales denomine nuestras bayonetas "Modelo Argentino 1909" de la manera más adecuada y formal según sus investigaciones para que sean comprendidas principalmente en los medios bibliográficos de cualquier país del Mundo. 
¡Saludos cordiales y muchas gracias por vuestra atención!
Important Note: You may find this same bayonet in specialized bibliographies not belonging to Argentina, called Primer Modelo 1909/47, Arsenales D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P., Modelo Temprano del Ejército = First Model 1909/47 D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. Arsenals, Early Army Model such as Colin Webster has specified in his book "Argentine Mauser Rifles 1871 - 1959" being correct. On the contrary, they have the denomination offered by Suffriti and Albino in their work "Bayonetas de la República Argentina", where this is specified as Bayoneta Mauser Modelo Argentino 1909 Cuarto Modelo = Mauser Bayonet Argentine Model 1909 Fourth Model, which is also correct. The explanation is too extensive but in a simplified way so that you can understand that, as there are different Patterns and Variants, both those designed, manufactured, and assembled by W.K.C. from Solingen in Germany as well as the autochthonous ones built entirely by the A.A.M.Z. and the D.G.F.M.-F.M.A.P. in Argentina, it is obvious that each author of books, magazines, manuals denominates our bayonets "Modelo Argentino 1909" in the most appropriate and formal way according to their research so that they are understood mainly in the bibliographic media of any country in the world.
Kind regards and thank you very much for your attention!

sable-bayoneta MAUSER "Modelo Argentino 1909" 3ra Versión, Variante A.R.A. (fabricada por A.A.M.Z.)



MAUSER saber-bayonet "Modelo Argentino 1909" 3rd Pattern, ARA Variant (manufactured by A.A.M.Z. = Marine Artillery Arsenal of Zárate and exclusively for A.R.A. = Republic of Argentina Navy)

Also known (in foreign countries) as Modelo Argentino 1909/47 Second Model


Origin or destiny: 
Republic of Argentina. 

Respective weapon: 
Designed for MAUSER Infantry Rifle (and Engineer Carbine) "Modelo Argentino 1909" in 7.65 caliber (7.65x53 mm cartridge). 
Remember: A.R.A. Marine Corps never used DWM Cavalry Carbines (neither the previously first one without bayonet attachment system neither the later modified one that carried the aforementioned system and obviously either the one manufatured by DGFM-FMAP).  

Manufacturer and manufacturing date: 
Manufactured between 1947 and 1958, by Marine Artillery Arsenal of Zárate (A.A.M.Z. ARSENAL ARTILLERÍA de MARINA ZÁRATE) located in Buenos Aires province, and belonging to the Republic of Argentina Navy (A.R.A. ARMADA de la REPÚBLICA de ARGENTINA). Approximate production of this bayonet 3500 pieces. 

Technical data: 
15.60 in of blade length (396 mm) 
4.80 in of hilt length, with crossguard (122 mm)
.61 in internal diameter of muzzle ring (15,50 mm)
21.22 in of overall length, with scabbard (539 mm)
18.48 oz of bayonet weight, without scabbard (524 g)
25.5 oz of overall weight, included scabbard (723 g)

Identification Marks: 
On blade right side ricasso and forming a sem-icircle MODELO ARGENTINO 1909, and inside of this the Republic of Argentina National Coat of Arms (both marks are somewhat blurred in all bayonets that belong to this pattern), in addition, the serial No. Z 1053 in coincidence with the one on the scabbard (letter Z attributed to ZARATE, close to the Z appears somewhat that seems to be two dots, although weakly stamped). On left side ricasso and in large capital letters A.R.A. inside a Rectangle with straight edges (letters interlaced with each other), and furthermore the letters A.A.M.Z. with dots (both marks are shown with perfect aspects). Last marks on the scabbard correspond to the serial No. Z1053 (in coincidence with the blade's one, and there's no space between the letter Z and the first number). 

Features and some Observations: 
Carbon steel straight blade, polished, with fullers on both sides, single edge, and a spear point with a smooth false edge (50 mm approx.). Steel polished crossguard with a high ring on its upper end and a hooked quillion with a ball finial on its lower end. Hilt has two walnut grips (texture assumes that it's wood from that tree), having a 72 mm of length at its upper border and 77 mm at the lower one. Grip scales are secured to the central tang by two rivets, having a distance of 35 mm starting from the inner edge from the holes which they house the rivets and 50 mm from the outer ones of the aforementioned holes. The steel pommel has an excellent polish and the classical slant (not so pronounced as the Solingen ModArg09s), at the right side is observed the press buttom that release or adjust the internal attaching system for bayonet and that is located inside the T-type slot. Its scabbard (similar to the germans from Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co.), is made of sheet rolled steel with an original blueing; has a ball finial, a mouthpiece (with internal springs) and a oval stud that allows to adjust the traditional leather frog or also the other made up in cloth and which it was exclusively realized for our ARA Marine Corps and some other dependencies of the Argentine Navy

Comment: 
This is a high quality Saber-Bayonet. It has a Germanic design very similar to the aspect of the ModArg09 2nd pattern 2nd variant. This "Navalized 3rd pattern" has its steel with an unusual polish that results in an exceptional shine, perfect to accompany uniforms in Military Ceremonials, Parades and Walking Outs, in a nearest way that the Extra-Seitengewehre were used, or also in similar way utilized by different Armies of Europe. Its scabbard differs in details of the thickness from the German one, but looking at it without being too much a detailist person, no one notices the differences. Having a pommel with a T type attaching slot, it wasn't necessary to have the cleaning rectangular holes (near the crossguard) as the same ones used in the ModArg09 1st pattern and 2nd pattern 1st variant. This amazing piece was part of a great era from our Argentine Steel Industry, and its own manufacture was in charge of the prestigious Marine Artillery Arsenal of Zárate (A.A.M.Z. = Arsenal Artillería de Marina Zárate) belonging to our also important Republic of Argentina Navy (A.R.A. = Armada de la República Argentina). Remember that the two other Argentine companies closely related to the autochthonous construction of bayonets and other types of blade weapons were the General Directorate of Military Industries - Portable Arms Military Factory (D.G.F.M. - F.M.A.P. = Dirección General de Fabricaciones Militares - Fábrica Militar de Armas Portátiles) and the J. C. SUÁREZ & Cia. but this last one was a civil company placed in the old Capital Federal, currently CABA (J.C. Suárez & Co. never manufactured ModArg09s, I named it as a reference). 

Clarification I: 
This pattern hasn't the classic T-U slot and for this reason the cleaning rod of the rifle doesn't need to be introduced inside its handle, and in addition, it has a hilt with a shortened length of 10 mm (compared with the ModArg09 1st pattern) and thanks to the Riccheri Adapter it allows that its cleaning rod remain on the outside while the ring of its guard is kept in an optimum height to be attached to the rifle muzzle. As not be requirired to insert the cleaning rod inside the hilt, its tang obviously lacks of an internal slot, and neither the rectangular cleaning holes are required as can be seen in the first two German patterns (useful in the ModArg09 1st pattern, but totally useless in the ModArg09 2nd pattern 1st variant, and for that reason they have been removed in the ModArg09 2nd pattern 2nd variant, proving that in both bayonets of AAMZ and DGFM-FMAP their grip scales are definitely observed without those unnecessary holes). Different sources mention that have been produced an amount of 3500 units of this "Navalized ModArg09 made in Argentine". Due to the little information obtained of them, it's assumed that they were manufactured as a replacement for lost or broken bayonets. But, in my opinion, they were only made to accompany or to be part of the uniforms in activities related to Ceremonials/Parades/Walking Out/Out of Service (may be that's the reason for the immaculate appearance of my bayonet), but until now, there's no a true confirmation. 

Clarification II: 
The first bibliography consulted (in Spanish) was "Bayonetas de la República Argentina" by the authors Mario A. Suffriti and Oscar C. Albino, the magnificent and remarkable Argentine book which shows all the studies/works related about each of the bayonets that were used in our Armed Forces and in our National Security Forces.  The second important bibliography consulted (in English) was "Argentine Mauser Rifles 1871 - 1959" by author Colin Webster and in this case, this book is other excellent and magnificent source of teaching and guidance, not only of bayonets but also intended about our rifles and carbines Mauser. Great and perfect reference to know all those glorious Mauser firearms that equipped our Forces. 

Note of great importance: 
Remember that you can found this bayonet under the denomination of Second Model 1909/47 as it's specified by Colin Webster in his book "Argentine Mauser Rifles 1871 - 1959", and shouldn't be considered incorrect. On the other hand and contrary, you have the other denomination, in this case offered by Suffriti and Albino in their work "Bayonetas de la República Argentina/Bayonets of the Argentine Republic", where it's specified as Bayoneta Mauser Modelo Argentino 1909 Tercer Modelo/Mauser Bayonet Argentine Model 1909 Third Model, which would not be considered incorrect either. Why these two different denomination? You must remember that the only bayonet that was designed, manufactured and assembled in Solingen of Germany and intended exclusively for the Mauser "Argentine Model 1909" Infantry Rifles and Engineer Carbines was the Official that appears in the Technical Brochure (Field Manual as named by Colin Webster) of 1910 and even in its 1961 re-edition. For that reason, we would have simply consider it as "Modelo Argentino 1909"/"Argentine Model 1909" Bayonet, being this the only one that would have accompanied to the aforementioned firearms which served in our Armed Forces. But for technical and tactical reasons from these Argentine Forces, it was decided to modify that same First Official Pattern, developing all the Patterns and Variants that we currently know. For all these reasons, it is obvious that each author of books/magazines/manuals has considered in classifying them in the most appropriate and formal way according to their research. On my part, I preferred to name it as we know this Pattern or Model in Argentina, but clarifying its other possible appointment in various foreign publications more appropriate to the bibliographic media of any country in the World. 

(Note: remember that originally, the "Modelo Argentino 1909" Cavalry Carbines had no bayonet attach system. Time later, those of the DWM were modified for this  function, and in the case of those already manufactured from 1947 by the DGFM-FMAP, these ones already carried it) .
Thank you so much for your attention!
