The bayonet became an old-fashioned weapon largely due to advancements in military technology and changes in warfare tactics. As firearms improved with greater accuracy and rate of fire, the need for close combat weapons like bayonets diminished. Additionally, modern warfare increasingly relies on mobility, air power, and ranged weaponry, rendering the bayonet less practical on the battlefield. Today, while still used in some military contexts, it is often seen more as a ceremonial tool than a primary weapon.
The bayonet became an old-fashioned weapon during the war due to the rise of modern firearms and advancements in military tactics. As armies increasingly relied on rapid-fire rifles and automatic weapons, the need for close-quarters combat diminished. Additionally, the introduction of trench warfare made traditional charges with bayonets less effective and more dangerous, leading to a shift toward more strategic and ranged combat techniques. Consequently, the bayonet's role in warfare was reduced, marking it as an outdated weapon in the context of modern combat.
its an old fashoned shot gun with very unique design
Mozart had several costumes. He had to be well fashoned because he had to play for rich people. Even he didn't wear a wick. He had his natural hear. Besides wicks became a symbol for the old regime, and Mozart thoughts were very progressive 'Illuminated)
I found a chassepot bayonet from 1866, medium condition, sold for 100€, and another from 1874, in perfect condition, for 300€. A seller of old weapons, like that in link, would certainly assess that bayonet better.
Because WWI was about trench warfare, so there was not as much hand-to-hand combat, therefore, the bayonet was not as useful.
It depends on condition. At an auction I just attended, I saw a lot of five knives with sheaths including a n old bayonet sell for $100.
Bayonets are some of the oldest weapons and have been used all over the world. This makes identification difficult at times. If yours is a fairly old bayonet then the S4 marking you describe possibly identifies it as an Austro-Hungarian bayonet from around 1895 that was later used by Czechoslovakia. However, the f...v could also match it to those created by 1930s Russian weapon designer F.V. Tokarev.
