Russian 1st Model (1st Pattern) 1891 Mosin-Nagant Socket Bayonet designed for the 1891 Mosin-Nagant Infantry Rifle. These are considered Imperial Russian (pre-1918) as opposed to Communist Russian (post-1918). This one has the locking ring; the later ones have an integral push-button/spring latching mechanism. Markings indicate manufacture at the Zlatoust Arsenal, but I have been told this could also be Tula Arsenal.
The tip of these bayonets - both models - can be used as a screw-driver. The Mosin-Nagant 1s Model 1891 Bayonet - and variants - was used from 1891 through WWII; the 2nd Model was used from 1930 through WWII. This bayonet type was also used by Austria and Finland.

Overall condition about good to very good.
