Remaining in use with secondary units until 1916/1917, three bayonet types were provided for the rifle during its official service life: a quadrilateral cross-sectioned socket form, followed by a yataghan-style sword bayonet, and finally a shortened and straightened version of this same yataghan bayonet. As such these three bayonets provide a classic illustration of bayonet typology for the period. However, their history and characteristics have never been assessed in detail, an omission this article seeks to remedy.EnglishPeabody-Martini RiflePeabody-Martini socket bayonetsPeabody-Martini yataghan bayonetsProvidence Tool CompanyMartini-Henry RifleTurkish Model Mauser RiflesPlevnaArticle10.1080/17416124.2019.15814891741-61241749-6268
