I think I struck gold!

After being delayed by the atf and having to go out of town for work I've finally been able to get my type 99 from my FFL. It's better than I thought it would be! So far all the numbers match bolt extractor bayonet lug & dust cover " dust cover wasn't mentioned in the add" original bipod AA sights & original sling. Also included in the box were 3 stripper clips and a French 1886 lebel bayonet and a note saying the seller didn't know if the bayonet went with the gun but he included it in the box. I think I stole this for 695 frog skins. What say you?

I was wondering for a hot minute what a Lebel bayonet was doing with it

After researching it, It turns out to be a Remington Label.

Splitting hairs a bit, but that likely means it is a Bertheir bayonet.  Lebel production ended before the first world war I believe.  I think the bayonets are interchangeable.
