From its introduction in 1874 until the turn of the nineteenth century the principal infantry firearm of the Ottoman army was the American-made .45 (11.43 × 55R) calibre Peabody-Martini Rifle. 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.

皮博迪-马蒂尼步枪刺刀

从 1874 年推出到 19 世纪初，奥斯曼军队的主要步兵火器是美国制造的 .45 (11.43 × 55R) 口径皮博迪马蒂尼步枪。在 1916/1917 年之前一直与辅助单元一起使用，在其正式服役期间为步枪提供了三种刺刀类型：四边形横截面套筒形式，其次是 yataghan 式剑刺刀，最后是缩短和拉直的这把同样的 yataghan 刺刀。因此，这三个刺刀提供了该时期刺刀类型学的经典说明。然而，它们的历史和特征从未被详细评估过，本文试图弥补这一疏漏。
