Original Bush War Rhodesian Type C FN FAL Bayonet with original Rhodesian Camouflage Paint remnants still present.
As part of the British Commonwealth, the Rhodesian Army was equipped with the British L1A1 FAL variant. When Rhodesia declared its independence from Britain in 1965, a UN arms embargo stopped further arms shipments from Britain. South Africa began covertly supplying the Rhodesian Army with the R1 FAL, which used the Type C bayonet. This examples scabbard is missing the frog-stud.
