**NEW ADDITION** SMEW2112 Bayonet U.S. M1905 Springfield. - Bayonet retains the original two-tone finish with nice sharp line on the ricasso. Blade is bright with no grind marks and some light pitting mostly in the fuller groove. Ricasso is marked ``SA`` / Bomb / ``1908`` reverse marked ``US`` / ``300574``. Walnut grip scales are in very good condition. Pommel crossguard and hilt have 95% blue. Tiny ``A`` above the attaching slot indicating it has had the alteration to allow easier mounting on the rifle. Scabbard is the M1910 type with khaki web cover having brown leather tip. Scabbard leather is in good condition with some nicks and scrapes. The Stitching is in good condition. Overall, a very handsome M1905 bayonet and scabbard. $450.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 15619 U.S. Model 1873 Scabbard for .45-70 trapdoor rifle bayonets - (Reilly S85) The most used type of scabbard issued with the M1873-1884 Springfield Trapdoor rifles. These had the leather belt loop for use with the leather waist belts being issued when the McKeever cartridge boxes were in service, prior to the Mills type web belts. Good example with the steel body a smooth and clean mix of some blue, but mostly plum/patina and maybe a tiny bit or rust or light pitting too. Nice leather frog with illegible Watervliet Arsenal markings. Brass rosette with US. Built up blue-green corrosion crud deep inside the loop/frog area keeps the belt loop from swiveling. Hard to find in decent shape as most were worn out and then scrapped as the M1885 scabbard was issued $75.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 15591 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall VG condition, cleaned to bright polished finish, as was the original finish. Some very fine roughness shows up on the blade in several areas, nothing bad, just there so it will look fine with a decent musket that has also been cleaned. This has the first type, with the locking ring having a shorter throw than the post 1861 lock ring that turns a few degrees further than the earlier version, but they were considered 100% interchangeable in service. A good selection to go with any of the Civil War muskets or .50-70 rifles made by Springfield. $175.00 (View Picture)

15438 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall G-VG condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance with some stains and small pits and a few areas of rust. Socket is very lightly wire brushed leaving the surface a frosty appearance with extremely fine roughness. This has the post 1861 lock ring that turns a few degrees further than the earlier version, but they were considered 100% interchangeable in service. Could be cleaned up if you like a more polished appearance. Markings consist of a punch mark , then a space, the a small S. The single S is usually the mark of Springfield armory, and it is likely that the lightly stuck U.S on the face of the blade above that has been lost in a period cleaning. Will be fine on a good representative Civil War musket or .50-70. $195.00 (View Picture)

15432 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall G-VG condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance with a fair amount of very fine surface rust that will easily clean off and leave it looking a lot better. This has the first type, with the locking ring having a shorter throw than the post 1861 lock ring that turns a few degrees further than the earlier version, but they were considered 100% interchangeable in service. Could be cleaned up if you like a more polished appearance. Markings consist of the U. from a poorly struck U.S on the face of the blade. Will be fine on a good representative Civil War musket or .50-70. $149.00 (View Picture)

15428 U.S. MODEL 1892 KRAG BAYONET (NO SCABBARD) - 1901 dated- Overall not quite good condition, but not total trash either. Blade has been neatly sharpened during its period of use. Pommel has some light rust (but probably very little if any pitting underneath) and rest of the hilt is dull steel gray. Some very light fingerprint type rust on the blade that should come off with a good cleaning. Grips show some wear but are pretty nice. This is one that could be aggressively cleaned up for use by a reenactor, or it will display just fine with a less than stellar Krag. The very best feature is the price, only $145.00 (View Picture)

15430 U.S. M1873 BAYONET FOR .45-70 TRAPDOORS - Bayonet retains about 97-98% of the arsenal blue finish. The US is somewhat faint, evidently from polishing as the old Civil War era bayonets were modified for the smaller muzzles of the trapdoors and refinished in blue. About as nice a bayonet as we canfind for these in recent years. Just a little wear onthe very sharpest edges and a fews scrapes on the socket. This wil fit any of the M1873-1884 .45-70 rifles. $149.00 (View Picture)

15371 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET (M1942) MADE BY AFH IN 1942 WITH M3 SCABBARD - Officially still the Model 1905 bayonet, these are sometimes called the Model 1942 by collectors due to the major changes in the manufacturing process which resulted in a much cruder finish and the use of plastic grips instead of the walnut previously used. Scabbard is an excellent M3 marked with US and flaming bomb on the parkerized throat piece, which has some light staining. Bayonet is excellent plus with about 96-98% of the original gray parkerized finish remaining, with wear mostly limited to storage wear and scrapes on the high parts of the crossguard and pommel and two small spots near the tip of the blade. The scarce brown plastic grips have a few tiny storage chips and dings- nothing important, just not quite perfect. Blade has not been sharpened since it left the factory. One of the best of these we have seen in recent years. These were issued with the M1903, 1903A1 and M1903A3 Springfields, and also the M1 Garand throughout WW2, although production of the shorter “Bayonet, M1” with the 10 inch blade began late in 1943. Besides American Fork & Hoe (the maker of this one) these WW2 era 16 inch blade bayonets were made by Union fork & Hoe, PAL Blade Company; Wilde Tool and Oneida Limited. $395.00 (View Picture)

15367 U.S. MODEL 1808 (?) BAYONET - Unable to positively ID this to the examples listed in Reilly’s American Socket Bayonets. This one is 20 3/8 inches overall, with a socket 3 5/16” long and blade about 16 15/16” long and 7/8” wide at the rear. The muzzle to stud distance is 1 ½ inches, and the “L” mortise is set up for the stud on top of the barrel. The blade is marked with a poorly struck US. The very heavy shank is about 1 1/8 inches long. There is no flute on the face of the blade as on the M1816s. The socket has a bore of about .835 inches and a bridge at the rear. This comes closest to Reilly B43B, the Richmond Manufactory type except those were not marked US. The B47 bayonets are similar, except they have face flutes. Overall condition is brown patina over light pitting, about average for the hard used flintlock muskets of the pre-1816 era. The front and rear edges of the socket have been peened over a little bit (easily corrected by a few file strokes if you want to fit this on a musket that has the right barrel dimensions). A good representative early bayonet to fill out a collection. $165.00 (View Picture)

15333 U.S. M1873 BAYONET FOR .45-70 TRAPDOORS - Bayonet retains about 98% of the arsenal blue finish. The US is somewhat faint, evidently from polishing as the old Civil War era bayonets were modified for the smaller muzzles of the trapdoors and refinished in blue. As nice a bayonet as we have seen in recent years. It comes with the metal body from a M1873-1885 scabbard, but the leather frog assembly is missing, It has some of the original blue, and mostly an old coat of black paint plus a large piece of masking tape. Good to keep from sticking yourself, but not much for the collector so we are throwing the scabbard body in for free. This wil fit any of the M1873-1884 .45-70 rifles. $150.00 (View Picture)

15307 U.S. M5A1 BAYONET FOR M1 GARAND, MADE BY MILPAR-COL - Overall excellent condition with excellent M8A1 scabbard. About 98% original dark gray parkerized finish, and factory sharpened edge. Just a few minor storage dings and scrapes. Scabbard is a bit dirty, but after a light cleaning this will be a great example of the bayonet adopted in the 1950s for use with the M1 Garand. MILPAR COL[umbus] is one of about 4 or 5 makers of the M5 bayonets. The M5 differs from the M5A1 in the shape of the hole in the latch mechanism for the pivot screw with the M5A1 hole being oval to allow some motion of the bayonet during firing of the rifle and allowing the catch release to protrude a bit more. $75.00 (View Picture)

15299 U.S. Model 1917 Bayonet (no scabbard) - This is an almost excellent example with about 97-98% of the original blue on the hilt, excellent walnut grip scales, and much of the frosty gray finish on the blade. However, it has been stored poorly and there are a couple of tiny rust spots on the hilt and the right side of the blade has a fair number of somewhat unsightly stains and there are some small surface rust spots near the tip. The left side has a few minor stains. This is the standard configuration with the clean out hole in the pommel and the 1917 dated blade with just U.S. inspector markings (no cancelled British marks). A nice example of the bayonet used on the M1917 “Enfield” rifles. Although the bayonets were made by Remington and Winchester (and none by Eddystone, although it was a Remington subsidiary), these were delivered, stored, and issued separately from the rifles, not as “stands of arms” [consisting a rifle with bayonet] as had been the case prior to WW1. In fact, far fewer bayonets were delivered than rifles, and it is perfectly correct to use a Remington (or Winchester) made bayonet on any of the M1917 rifles. Will still go nicely with an above average rifle. $165.00 (View Picture)

15298 U.S. Model 1917 Bayonet (no scabbard) - A very nice example of the bayonet used on the M1917 “Enfield” rifles. Although the This is a near excellent example with about 95-97% of the original blue on the hilt, excellent walnut grip scales, and much of the frosty gray finish on the blade, although it has a moderate amount of staining, mainly on the left side of the blade with a few stained spots on the right side. This is the standard configuration with the clean out hole in the pommel and the 1917 dated blade with just U.S. inspector markings (no cancelled British marks). bayonets were made by Remington and Winchester (and none by Eddystone, although it was a Remington subsidiary), these were delivered, stored, and issued separately from the rifles, not as “stands of arms” [consisting a rifle with bayonet] as had been the case prior to WW1. In fact, far fewer bayonets were delivered than rifles, and it is perfectly correct to use a Remington (or Winchester) made bayonet on any of the M1917 rifles. Will go nicely with a well above average rifle. $195.00 (View Picture)

15297 U.S. Model 1917 Bayonet & Scabbard- Nice! - A very nice example of the bayonet and scabbard used on the M1917 “Enfield” rifles. Although the bayonets were made by Remington and Winchester (and none by Eddystone, although it was a Remington subsidiary), these were delivered, stored, and issued separately from the rifles, not as “stands of arms” [consisting a rifle with bayonet] as had been the case prior to WW1. In fact, far fewer bayonets were delivered than rifles, and it is perfectly correct to use a Remington (or Winchester) made bayonet on any of the M1917 rifles. This is one of the best examples we have had in a long time with about 98% of the original blue on the hilt, excellent walnut grip scales, and most of the frosty gray finish on the blade with only a few minor stained spots. This is the standard configuration with the clean out hole in the pommel and the 1917 dated blade with just U.S. inspector markings (no cancelled British marks). The scabbard is a genuine U.S. WW1 product, not one of the foreign copies or recent reproductions sometimes peddled as originals. The green finished leather is dirty and can be cleaned up with some saddle soap or good (non-colored) leather treatment. It has inspector markings G.H.Y. which I first mistook for the maker marking for Graton & Knight, but it clearly is not that. I did not see a maker mark, although they are often lightly struck and may be visible when cleaned up. The dark gray finished tip and throat pieces are generally fine to excellent with just a bit of light surface rust on the top of the throat piece. Getting hard to find these any more in this condition. $325.00 (View Picture)

15291 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET MADE BY COLLINS & CO. FOR M1855-1861 .58 MUSKETS - At first glance this is as nice a M1855 bayonet as I have seen in years, with the added advantages of being made by the famous Collins & Company, and having the 1861 and earlier short rotation on the locking ring. Bright steel finish has mellowed to a smooth silver-gray with only a very few small specks of staining. Perfect for a minty M1855 or early M1861 musket. The Collins marking “C & Co” marked on the socket However, close inspection reveals the letter “C” struck on the rear of the socket, the infamous “mark of condemnation” indicating that this bayonet was rejected by federal inspectors. The flaw is probably in the welding of the shank to the socket as the faired in portion at the rear of the shank seems to be separates slightly, although the blade is firmly and permanently attached, so it is more of a cosmetic defect than a major problem. Still, the inspector did his job, and the bayonet was probably then sold to fill a state order instead! For someone who wants the very best, but with an interesting twist to the story. I know I will regret not keeping this for myself! $395.00 (View Picture)

15290 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Made by Collins & Company- Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall VG condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance or perhaps someone once rubbed some cold blue on it, but these were finished bright. There are tiny specks of light pitting here and there and some assorted dings from careless storage over the years, but you have to look to see them. Sharp US on the face of the blade and inspector initial “J” ahead of the slot on the socket and the Collins marking “C & Co” marked on the socket. This has the post 1861 lock ring that turns a few degrees further than the earlier version, but they were considered 100% interchangeable with any of the rifle or musket models from 1855 through 1872. Could be cleaned up if you like a more polished appearance. Will be fine on a VG-fine .58 musket or .50-70. $225.00 (View Picture)

15289 U.S. Model 1892 Bayonet with scabbard for all M1892-1898 Krag rifles - This is actually a much nicer example than it may appear in the photos. It badly needs a careful cleaning. The undented scabbard has about 95% of the original blue remaining, but there are scattered patches of very light surface rust that need to be cleaned off with some oil and 0000 steel wool, which should reveal the blue underneath. The unsharpened blade is dirty and stained with very light surface rust that should clean off easily leaving a nice bright finish. Good US and lightly struck 1900 date on the blade. The hilt also has surface rust, a bit heavier and fairly thick rust on the pommel., most of which should come off with a good cleaning (and a bit more aggressive than on the other areas where it is lighter). Walnut grip scales are about excellent. One side of pommel has unit marks C over 22, but no idea what unit they relate to. Once cleaned up this will be an excellent bayonet to go with all but the best condition Krags. Getting hard to find nice bayonets for these any more. $250.00 (View Picture)

13861 U.S Model 1873 Bayonet for M1873-1884 .45-70 rifles - In desperate need of a good cleaning, but will be G-VG when done. About 80% original blue remains, but there is a lot of scattered light surface rust that will mostly clean off. (soaking with WD-40 followed by scraping with a palette knife and steel wool works for me). There is some heavier patina/rust near the tip, about two inches on the face, and about 5 inches on one side, probably from moisture getting into a scabbard. There is a burr from a cut of some sort across the bridge part of the socket that can be left alone, or removed with a few file strokes if you don’t mind a bright spot. Not a great bayonet but a decent representative example when cleaned, and priced accordingly. $69.00 (View Picture)

10580 SCARCE EARLY MODEL 1873 TRAPDOOR BAYONET SCABBARD - (Reilly S84) This is the early type with the leather belt loop and brass rosette marked "U.S" while the later more common type has only the letters "US" without the period between them. The M1873 type scabbard was issued with the M1873-1884 Springfield Trapdoor rifles for use with the leather waist belts being used during the McKeever cartridge boxes era, prior to the Mills type web belts. Very good example with steel body smooth and clean but a mix of some blue, and mostly plum/patina and a bit or rust or light pitting too. Nice leather frog with legible Watervliet Arsenal markings and showing some flexing and wear. Hard to find these in decent shape as most were worn out and then scrapped as the M1885 scabbard was issued. $139.00 (View Picture)

14929 U.S. Model 1869 Trowel Bayonet Scabbard - (Reilly S126) One of about 504 made at Springfield in 1869-1870 for the experimental Chillingworth trowel bayonet. These will only partially accept the later M1873 trowel bayonet but is a good filler as loose M1873 scabbards are about as scarce. Stiff, with cracking and flaking as shown in the photos. The illegible markings are “PAT. DEC. 1, 1868” over “U.S.” (Last one of these we had about 15 years ago was sold to Robert Reilly, and is probably the one shown in his book.) A very scarce addition to a U.S. martial arms collection. One of the tiny rivets that secure the tip to the leather is missing, but tip is secured by the other one. $250.00 (View Picture)

14462 U.S. M4 Bayonet for the M1 Carbine with scabbard - Made by Imperial with the markings on the crossguard on the wrong side, or the guard got reversed when arsenal overhauled. Has about 90-95% of an arsenal overhauled medium gray parkerized finish. Has late style plastic grips, but not sure if this was made this way or is one of the WW2 bayonets made with leather grips which deteriorated and were replaced with the plastic when overhauled. Comes with a used G-VG M8A1 scabbard. $65.00 (View Picture)

14916 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall G-VG condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance with some stains and small pits and a few areas of rust. This has the post 1861 lock ring that turns a few degrees further than the earlier version, but they were considered 100% interchangeable in service. Could be cleaned up if you like a more polished appearance. Markings consist of U.S on the face of the blade. Will be fine on a good, but not minty CW musket or .50-70. $175.00 (View Picture)

SMEW2005 RARE WWII Vintage Long U.S. 1905 bayonet manufactured by Pal Blade Company (PAL). - This is one of the least common of all the makers of ``M1942`` bayonets with only those manufactured by Wilde Tool being more scarce. The blade is marked ``PAL`` over ``US`` and flaming bomb and date 1942. Bayonet is in excellent condition with a few small nicks and dings, retaining 98% plus Parkerizing. The black plastic grips are excellent, as is the fiberglass scabbard. The scabbard throat is marked USN MK1, denoting procurement under Navy contract, possibly for USMC use as well. After WW2 these were merged in the supply system and issued to any military branch. These long bayonets were issued throughout WW2 although the shorter M1 bayonets were adopted in 1943. These were used with the M1 rifle, and all of the M1903 series, and will also fit on a Krag. $450.00 (View Picture)

14462 U.S. M4 Bayonet for the M1 Carbine with scabbard - Made by Imperial with the markings on the crossguard on the wrong side, or the guard got reversed when arsenal overhauled. Has about 90-95% of an arsenal overhauled medium gray parkerized finish. Has late style plastic grips, but not sure if this was made this way or is one of the WW2 bayonets made with leather grips which deteriorated and were replaced with the plastic when overhauled. Comes with a used G-VG M8A1 scabbard. $65.00 (View Picture)

SMEW1982 U.S. M6 BAYONET FOR THE M14 RIFLE - IMPERAL. - With scabbard. The M6 is part of the series that runs from the M3 trench knife and M4 bayonet for the M1 Carbine through the M5 for the M1 Garand, and the M7 for the M16. All use the same blade with slight variations in the grips and attachment mechanisms. This bayonet is in good - very good condition, the crossguard is marked with the D.O.D. acceptance stamp, ''U.S.M6'' and ''IMPERAL. The blade has 90-05% finish with some slight wear. Grips are very good with no dings or cracks. The scabbard strap snap is broken. $45.00 (View Picture)

14424 U.S. MODEL 1816 BAYONET FOR PERCUSSION CONVERSIONS OF M1816 MUSKETS - At the time that the M1816 flintlock muskets were being converted (circa 1856-1863) contracts were let for a supply of replacement bayonet for those which had been damaged or lost over the years. These had the M1816 style sockets, but instead of the old 16 inch blades, the current M1855 style 18 inch blades were used. These are most often associated with the Hewes & Phillips conversions, but could have been issued with any of the M1816 conversion. This is a nice example, not quite minty, showing a mix of a lot of original bright polished finish, mixed with some staining and rust sports. If desired this could be cleaned up to be a really nice example. Since the M1816s were not 100% interchangeable, and a bit of hand fitting was often necessary to mate a musket and bayonet. $195.00 (View Picture)

14289 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SOCKET BAYONET FOR M1873 (NEAR MINT UNISSUED!) - (Janzen 204-2) These use the common M1855 style blade shape, but the smaller diameter socket and short shank and very long riccasso of the face of the blade are distinctive identifying features on these. Many of the M1873 muskets were sold overseas, but a fair number were sold to state militias and domestic users for guard use. This example retains about 98% of the original bright polished finish, with one strip of light surface rust that should clean off along the edge of blade at the rear. About as close to mint unissued as you will ever get. Nicest of the doze or so I have seen over the years. $325.00 (View Picture)

14283 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SOCKET BAYONET FOR M1873 WINCHESTER - (Janzen 204-2) These use the common M1855 style blade shape, but the smaller diameter socket and short shank and very long riccasso of the face of the blade are distinctive identifying features on these. Many of the M1873 muskets were sold overseas, but a fair number were sold to state militias and domestic users for guard use. This example retains about 95% of the original bright polished finish, slightly dulling to steel gray, but has scattered speckles of staining and a tiny patch of very light pitting (about 3/8” diameter) halfway own the blade. Still overall excellent example. $275.00 (View Picture)

14282 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SOCKET BAYONET FOR M1873 WINCHESTER - (Janzen 204-2) These use the common M1855 style blade shape, but the smaller diameter socket and short shank and very long riccasso of the face of the blade are distinctive identifying features on these. Many of the M1873 muskets were sold overseas, but a fair number were sold to state militias and domestic users for guard use. This example retains about 95% of the original bright polished finish, slightly dulling to steel gray, but has scattered speckles of staining and an area about 3 inches long near the tip on the face flute with light pitting. Still a very nice example. $225.00 (View Picture)

14281 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET FOR M1892-1898 KRAG RIFLES, WITH SCABBARD (1903 DATE) - (Janzen 217-1) Overall about excellent condition with the blade retaining most of its original bright polished finish. Hilt is turning dull steel gray with light staining. Walnut grip scales with some dings around one rivet. Scabbard has most of the blue finish, but turned to plum instead of the bright blue. Some minor dings and bruises on the base of he pommel from beating the enemy senseless or crushing hardtack or something. One small shallow dent on the back near the tip, otherwise a very nice example. Not quite minty, but far nicer than most of the Krag bayonets and scabbards we have seen recently. $225.00 (View Picture)

14189 U.S. MODEL 1892 KRAG BAYONET & SCABBARD - 1902 dated- Overall good-very good condition. Unsharpened blade has a few scattered spots of stain or rust but is basically nice. Hilt has turned dull steel gray and shows a few assorted minor dings and bruises. Grips are very good except for one ding on the left side. Grips are unit marked 13 on the left side and L over 2 on the right side and your guess is as good as mine as to meaning. Scabbard body is free of dents with little finish, basically just thin plum/steel gray mix. Overall an above average example of the Krag bayonet, and getting harder to find. Will look great with a 70-80% rifle. $175.00 (View Picture)

14188 U.S. MODEL 1892 KRAG BAYONET & SCABBARD - 1899 dated- Overall not quite good condition, but not total trash either. Blade has been neatly sharpened during its period of use. Hilt has scattered roughness but still looks okay unless you look closely. Scabbard body has a dent on front and back about an inch from the tip, which does not interfere with use. Scabbard body has much of the original finish, with the blue turned plum or to patina. Right grip scale is cracked but not loose. This is one that could be aggressively cleaned up and the scabbard refinished for use by a reenactor, or it will display just fine with a less than stellar Krag. The very best feature is the price, only $125.00 (View Picture)

10494 U.S. MODEL 1917 BAYONET BY REMINGTON - About mint unissued, but with some scttered light staining and maybe a few scratches on the frosty gray part of the blade. Hilts with 99% original blue finish, just a few insignificant storage dings. Excellent plus walnut grip scales. Marked 1917 over Remington in circle with US and inspector marks on other side. Still has cosmoline in the recesses of the hilt. Not quite perfect due to the staining, but pretty darn nice anyway. $185.00 (View Picture)

13677 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET- BRIGHT BLADE SA 1909 WITH M1905/1910 SCABBARD - A very nice example of the early “bright blade” Model 1905 bayonet as made up to the start of WW1 when they began to darken the blades, and later most of the bright blade models were refinished, leaving the survivors scarce and desirable. This one was made at Springfield Armory in 1909, with serial number 401253. Walnut grip scales retain their rough turning texture and have only the GI oil finish. Hilt and crossguard retain about 90% of the original blued finish, along with the blue strip on the lower portion of the blade. Blade has been lightly sharpened and cleaned. Some scattered light pitting in the fuller, mainly at the rear on the right side, visible in the photographs. The scabbard is a VG Model 1905 leather covered scabbard which originally had a Krag style swivel hook. These were converted after adoption of the M1910 belt system by removal of the swivel hook and addition of a leather collar with a M1910 hook. There are two types of conversion and this is the “type 1” discussed in Gary Cunningham’s American Military Bayonets of the 20th Century on pages 29-30. Scabbard body has original Rock Island 1911 markings, and was probably converted almost immediately after being accepted. As with nearly all of the leather covered scabbards, the tip stitching has split and the leather pulled back some as the leather shrunk over the years. A well above average example of the early M1905 bayonet. Very hard to find these any more. $650.00 (View Picture)

13676 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET- BRIGHT BLADE SA 1906 WITH M1910 SCABBARD - A very nice example of the early “bright blade” Model 1905 bayonet as made up to the start of WW1 when they began to darken the blades, and later most of the bright blade models were refinished, leaving the survivors scarce and desirable. This one was made at Springfield Armory in 1906 (the first year these were made), with serial number 165790. Walnut grip scales retain their rough turning texture and have only the GI oil finish. Hilt and crossguard retain about 80% of the original blued finish, along with the blue strip on the lower portion of the blade. Right side of blade has a number of areas of staining with a few spots where it is light roughness or pitting. Most of these could be polished out with some careful work with 320 or 400 or finer grit emery cloth working parallel with the blade and backing the cloth with some wood or a file to apply even pressure. It may be better to just leave it alone and accept the fact that bright blades did tend to rust easily. Blade has been lightly cleaned at some time but never sharpened. The scabbard is a very nice Model 1910 with the rawhide covered body and light khaki woven web cover and brown leather tip. The tip is fully intact with tight stitching, although scuffed up a bit. A small amount of fraying at the loop for the M1910 belt hook. Old ID number (369?) stamped on both side of the tip but otherwise unmarked. A well above average example of the early M1905 bayonet. Very hard to find these any more. $625.00 (View Picture)

9607 U.S.M4 BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINE W/SCABBARD (CONETTA) - Overall about excellent but showing light use but no excessive wear or sharpening. This one by Conetta is 1960s era production, made with the plastic grips. This is the type used in Vietnam, while the WW2 issue carbine bayonet had the leather handles, which did not hold up well in tropical conditions. Complete with M8A1 scabbard. $79.00 (View Picture)

226 M7 Bayonet & Scabbard - Almost like new. Slight "in and out" wear on the blade finish, maybe some thinning of finish at the tip as well. The classic bayonet for the M16 series rifles. Maker may vary, but the one we grabbed for the photo was made by Imperial. Genuine U.S. military issue, not cheap foreign copies or "made up surplus" junk. $35.00 (View Picture)

209 M7 Bayonet & Scabbard - Nearly new with original wrapping paper dated 1984. Slight "in and out" wear on the blade finish. The classic bayonet for the M16 series rifles.

12917 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET AND SCABBARD FOR KRAG RIFLES, DATED 1899 - A very nice representative Krag bayonet. Probably arsenal cleaned at some point as the markings are a little weak from cleaning the blade, and the grip rivets are finished flush instead of domed as is usually the case on these. Scabbard with about 90-95% blue finish which is turning a bit toward plum color, but still well above average for Krag bayonets we see these days. $225.00 (View Picture)

12861 Two scarce bayonets for Winchester muskets (1873 & 1892?) - I believe these are Reilly B140 and B141, but previous owner only identified one as Hardin 43. Both have the distinctive short shank typical of the Winchester 1866-1873 family. The mortise is cut so that when fixed, the blade is beneath the barrel instead of on the right side as is the norm with socket bayonets. Sockets are nearly identical. Blades differ quite a bit, with the flutes stopping at different points and the rear taper of the shoulders and rounding of the face of the blade differ noticeably. The brighter looking example is a dull steel gray with some scattered areas of light pitting on the blade. The darker looking one is mostly a dull patina with a hint of blue, and some patches of patina accumulating here and there, mostly on the blade. Scarce items in any condition. From the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors. Your choice $295 each or take both for $395.00 $395.00 (View Picture)

12854 U.S. Model 1873 Bayonet - (Reilly B128) Blade with about 96-98% original blue, and a few minor tiny stained spots, or tiny rust freckles. Socket got exposed to weather and has about 95% blue mixed with some staining and patina. Almost minty, and one of the nicer trapdoor bayonets we have seen lately. $150.00 (View Picture)

12853 U.S. Model 1873 Bayonet - (Reilly B128) Blade with about 90-95% original blue, with some rust freckles and staining mixed in. Socket got exposed to weather and has about 50-60% blue mixed with some staining and patina, and a few small pits where someone tried to clean it. There are a lot of dings and scars on the shank where it meets the rear tapered part of the blade (like some idiot used it as a hammer). A good honest used example for an average to better than average rifle. $95.00 (View Picture)

13211 U.S. MODEL 1873 SCABBARD- MCKINNEY'S PATENT - (Reilly S114) Patented in 1886 and while not adopted for federal service, these were procured for use by New York and Pennsylvania militia units. These were undoubtedly used during the Spanish American War by some units from those states. Neatly marked on the mouth of the body with patent info. Body is painted black (apparently these were japanned black when made and this was unit level "overhaul" to keep them spiffy looking. Leather frog used a patent leather type material which is nearly always found to be rotted or worm eaten, but this one has only a few small holes on the back. One of the best examples of this model I have seen. $75.00 (View Picture)

13210 U.S. MODEL 1873 SCABBARD WITH MILL BELT ALTERATION - (Reilly S102 or S104) Late type with marking "US" on the brass rosette (as opposed to the early "U.S" These were standard for the trapdoor bayonets until replaced by the Model 1885 which had the tall narrow brass hook to fit into a loop on a Mills belt. This has been arsenal altered by addition of a brass hook with stitching to keep it in position. The brass hooks were needed to allow use with the Mills belts with the hook slipping into the cartridge loops (or between them). Overall good condition, with good leather, and body has a mix of mostly steel gray, some blue, and patina and rust. About average. $65.00 (View Picture)

13207 U.S. MODEL 1873 SCABBARD - (Reilly S107) Late type with marking "US" on the brass rosette (as opposed to the early "U.S" These were standard for the trapdoor bayonets until replaced by the Model 1885 which had the tall narrow brass hook to fit into a loop on a Mills belt. Overall good condition, with good leather, and body has a mix of blue, patina and rust. A bit better than average for this model. $65.00 (View Picture)

12860 Winchester Bayonet for M1873 Musket - 18 inch blade and .690 bore and the short shank and long tapered shoulder typical of the Winchester bayonets. Overall excellent condition with about 75% original bright polished finish remaining, the rest a mix of dull steel gray mixed with some light staining and fingerprint rust. If you like them really shiny, this one will clean up easily and nicely. A scarce blade in superb condition. $200.00 (View Picture)

12850 U.S. Model 1855 Bayonet - (Reilly B92) This is a standard Model 1855 type 1 bayonet in all respects which will fit any of the M1855, 1861, 1863, 1865, 1866, 1868, 1870 Springfields as well as the M1871 rolling block. An bit better than average example. Overall a dull steel gray with some staining and a few widely scattered tiny rust spots or pits, however, one side of the blade has an area about 2 inches long that has heavy rust scale and undoubtedly some pitting underneath if it is removed. Too bad, as otherwise this would be a fine or better example. A nice one to display with a musket in similar mostly nice condition having a few flaws. $195.00 (View Picture)

13151 U.S. MODEL 1888 "ROD BAYONET" FOR M1888 "TRAPDOOR RIFLE - This is the round rod byaonet that doubled as a cleaning rod in the M1888 rifles. These are often found missing, and replacements are surprisingly hard to find. Theya re also nice additions to a bayonet collection. Used VG-Fine, maybe even excellent condition. About 90% original blue. $125.00 (View Picture)

13041 U.S. MODEL 1816 BAYONET (L MORTISE) - Standard version of this bayonet with blade a nominal 16" long and having a flute halfway down the face. Marked US over JB, indicating inspection by James Bell. Remember, the M1816 muskets were not interchangeable, and after whatever hand fitting was required, the socket was usually (but not always) maked with a letter/number code to match that on a musket so that when a case of 20 muskets was opened and issued a bayonet could be identified for each, without having to mix and match all possible combinations until the proper mates were located. These were made with the mortises for the barrel stud being a simple "L" design (assumed to be the earlier design) or a "T" slot which made it more difficult to remove the bayonet. This has the "L" mortise. Finish is a silver gray from cleaning, with scattered light pitting. Two forging flaws in the steel are visible in the blade. Socket is not numbered. $149.00 (View Picture)

13040 U.S. MODEL 1816 BAYONET - Standard version of this bayonet with blade a nominal 16" long and having a flute halfway down the face. Marked US over JB, indicating inspection by James Bell.

This has the "T" mortise and it shows much scattered light pitting and is a mix of dull steel gray and dark spots. Socket marked T49. $135.00 (View Picture)

13002 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall G-VG condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance but some stains and small pits. Could be cleaned up if you like a more polished appearance. Markings consist of U.S on the face of the blade. Will be fine on a good, but not minty CW musket or .50-70. $175.00 (View Picture)

13000 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET AND SCABBARD FOR KRAG RIFLES, DATE 1899 - A good representative Krag bayonet to go with a rifle that shows some use. Blade has been lightly sharpened during the period of use, and now has some pitting near the tip and a bit of roughness on the upper right side of the blade and a bit more elsewhere. Scabbard has about 30% of the original blue finish remaining, but rest is mix of rest spots and patina. A careful cleaning may improve the appearance of the scabbard a bit, but may not be worth the effort. If your Krag rifle is starting to show some rust spots, this would go nicely with it. $175.00 (View Picture)

12998 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET AND SCABBARD FOR KRAG RIFLES, DATE 1897 - Arsenal cleaned and overhauled with grips replaced at that time, so it how has the rivet heads in the “domed” configuration instead of being ground flush as was done up until about 1899. Right grip has small brass plate inletted in place, but no marks- surely there is an explanation for this- either a famous personage presenting this as a souvenir, or perhaps Bubba getting ready to engrave his name, but we sure don’t know. Scabbard has about 80-90% good blue remaining, mixed with some very light surface rust that may clean off somewhat. One large dent right at the tip and three insignificant dents on the back that do not interfere with function. One eraser size patch of pitting on right side of blade. Overall a pretty nice representative bayonet with early date. $175.00 (View Picture)

12759 US M1855-70 STYLE SOCKET BAYONET - Good representative example of the bayonet used with all the .58 muskets and the .50-70 conversions. Overall VG-fine with slight traces of roughness in the metal in various places. Has been cleaned, but looks very nice, close to the "ass issue" bright polished appearance, mixed with some staining and widely scattered traces of surface rust, especially near the tip of the blade. Very presentable as is, it would look better with a bit of work with 320-440 emery cloth would make this look like when it was first issued. Above average example of the classic bayonet for a Civil War musket. Only marking is the US on the blade. $225.00 (View Picture)

12663 U.S. M7 BAYONET BY IMPERIAL FOR M16 RIFLE WITH M8A1 SCABBARD - Used fine to excellent. Original finish, showing some scabbard wear, but not sharpened or anything like that. Photo shows several bayonets, but price is for just one bayonet and scabbard. $35.00 (View Picture)

12662 U.S. M7 BAYONET BY BOC FOR M16 RIFLE WITH M8A1 SCABBARD - Used fine to excellent. Original finish, showing some scabbard wear, but not sharpened or anything like that. Photo shows several bayonets, but price is for just one bayonet and scabbard. $35.00 (View Picture)

12401 U.S. M4 BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINE, WITH RUBBER GRIPS. - Made by Imperial as a standard leather grips. Deterioration of the leather led to replacement with molded rubber grips circa 1945-1950. However, the rubber grip on this one is a recent job by surplus dealers, and thus the value is far less than an original GI altered item. Metal parts with about 50% thin light gray parkerize finish. One or two small areas of light pitting on the blade. Nice representative example. No scabbard. $55.00 (View Picture)

12400 KOREAN MADE K-M4 BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINES - Nice example about identical to US made versions except for markings and slightly lesser quality workmanship. No scabbard.. $35.00 (View Picture)

12385 U.S. MODEL 1873 BAYONET FOR .45-70 TRAPDOOR RIFLES - Looks great sitting in a scabbard with about 95-98% original blue finish on the socket and shank. Unfortunately the blade had some rusted areas and Bubba got his Dremel tool out and removed the rust and left bright areas around them. This would look a lot better with some touch up with cold blue. An okay representative example, or good for a reenactor. Cheap. No scabbard. $65.00 (View Picture)

11961 Unidentified Remington(?) Socket bayonet (Remington Lee?) - Similar to Reilly B137A. Blade 18 inches long and marked U.S. on the face. Socket is just under 3" long, not the 2 5/8" normally found on Remington bayonets. Bore is about .720. Bright finish faded to dull steel gray with some staining and discoloration. Lock ring is wider than on U.S. types, and has letters CV on the ring. Slot for the stud/sight is wider than on the US M1855/1873. Perhaps converted from U.S. M1855 like the 1873s but made slightly smaller to fit some Remington models? I have seen several of these over the years and never really figured out what they are. Reilly thinks they may be for the Remington Lee, but they do not fit either the U.S. Army or Navy models I tried it on. Maybe they will work on the export models. Of course, it will fit any gun you own, if you use some duct tape. $95.00 (View Picture)

12050 U.S. MODEL 1903 ROD BAYONET FOR EARLY M1903 ROD BAYONET MODEL - Overall excellent with about 96-98% original blue- no rust. Scarce item. $150.00 (View Picture)

12047 U.S. MODEL 1855-1870 .58 MUSKET AND .50-70 RIFLE BAYONET - WITH UNIDENTIFIED OLD SCABBARD- The same Model 1855 bayonet was used for all the M1855-1870 .58 caliber muskets and the .50-70 rifles. This is an G-VG example which will clean to excellent by removing the scattered light rust and stain with some emery cloth. Good [dot]/US/S marking on the blade, indicating manufacture at Springfield. A very nice bayonet once it is cleaned. Scabbard is an old (maybe 1880s-1890s?) made of brown leather in the general style of the Civil War scabbards, but with only three rivets which are tubular steel, not the earlier copper rivet and washer type. Body is long enough for a 20 inch blade, and in lieu of a brass tip, the tip is closed with the same type of rivet used on the frog. This model is not listed in Reilly, and my gut feeling is that it may be for one of the Rolling blocks by Remington or Whitney, or perhaps the Sharps Borchardt or something, The scabbard may be a great rarity worth a bundle to the advanced collector or nothing exciting at all. In either case, it comes free with the bayonet. $249.00 (View Picture)

11910 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET (RIA 1918) WITH REPRO M1910 SCABBARD - Bayonet Made by Rock Island in 1918, serial number 352036. Walnut grip scales still have the rough turning marks. Metal parts parkerized, probably during or after WW1 when they did away with the bright blades previously used and went to darkened finishes. Very nice blade with about 90-95% finish, just a bit of scabbard wear. One tiny chip on the edge near the tip (less than 1/8"). Scabbard is excellent quality reproduction of the M1910 looking great and reducing the price significantly over one that was original. $375.00 (View Picture)

11448 UNIDENTIFIED SOCKET BAYONET CIRCA 1795-1812 - Probably American circa. Blade is 14 3/4" long and 1 inch wide at the rear, with a rudimentary flute on the face flat for about 7 1/2 inches. Point is a true point, not the "prow" or "beak" point found on the M1816 bayonets. Socket is 3 5/16" long, bored for a .69 caliber musket barrel. Shank is very heavy and flattened on the forward side, nearly flush with the front of the socket. Socket is most unusual, having a "L" mortise for a top mounted stud, and remnants of a very small bridge at the rear. However, there is another slot cut on the opposite side of the socket, and an old repair in the area where it might have connected to the mortise. Rear of socket is bent so that it will not fit on a musket right now. Only marking is number 35 stamped ahead of the mortise. A very unusual bayonet that came out of New England but with no history. $150.00 (View Picture)

10571 U.S. MODEL 1873 .45-70 TRAPDOOR BAYONET - Standard M1873 trapdoor bayonet, but someone tried to force it on another rifle leaving a small crack in the socket at the front of the locking notch, but still fits a trapdoor just fine. Lock ring is correct replacement. Looks refinished, and blade shows some waviness from abuse of some sort. Great for a reenactor or collector on a tight budget, a good representative example, but not a high condition piece for the advanced collector. (No scabbard) $75.00 (View Picture)

11004 DANISH ISSUE M5A1 BAYONET FOR M1 GARAND WITH SCABBARD - Have several. Excellent to unissued condition with maybe a few streaks of scabbard wear on the parkerized finish. No markings to identify maker or nomenclature. Scabbards are European manufactured similar to the M8A1 but with added British style belt hooks on the sides of the loop, in addition to the M1910 belt hook at the top. Some scabbards have wood grain type appearance others a pebble texture OD, with some throat pieces marked with the Danish crown and HTK. These would have been used with the Danish used M1 Garands being sold through CMP. $45.00 (View Picture)

9700 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET & SCABBARD FOR KRAG RIFLES (1903 DATE) - Near excellent example with excellent walnut grips except for one dinged area on right grip. Edge of blade has been heavily (but very neatly) sharpened, and false edge a bit less neatly sharpened. A bit of staining and some light pitting at the tip, but nothing too bad. Excellent scabbard with about 96-98% blue finish remaining, but I suspect it is an old arsenal refinish. A very handsome Krag bayonet and scabbard, but sharpening and refinished scabbard make it a bit more affordable. $185.00 (View Picture)

9032 U.S. MODEL 1892 KRAG BAYONET AND SCABBARD - (Janzen 217-1) Dated 1898 with bright blade and hilt. Bayonet was sharpened a long time ago and cleaned, but it now dirty and has some light staining or rust spots that should be cleaned up. Scabbard is very nice, although it has many rust freckles on the blue finish, along with some paint spots. No dents, and the belt hanger is in good shape with the limited swivel. With some soaking in WD40, and gentle scraping with a pallet knife at an angle, most of the freckles should come off leaving the blue underneath, or at least a smooth dark surface. While not the best Krag bayonet we have had, it is still much nicer than most we have seen recently. $225.00 (View Picture)

8444 U.S. M4 (type) BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINE (KIFFE) - Standard M4 design with leather grip and plastic spacers. Blade marked KIFFE/ JAPAN/ These are Japanese manufactured circa 1960. About new condition with new M8AI scabbard (Cole III, p.107, #9) Not an official US issue bayonet, but made in Japan probably for use by their self defense forces, which were armed with the carbine, and perhaps for sale to other foreign countries, as well as for sale to the surplus market at a time when carbine bayonets were seldom found on the market. $69.00 (View Picture)

7389 RATTY RUSTY M1903 SPRINGFIELD ROD BAYONET - A relic plundered from Bannerman's Island Arsenal decades ago. Indescribably rusty and pitted and ratty. hard to find in decent condition, and even harder to find like this. A wonderful treasure for the connoisseur of rusty arms. $5.00 (View Picture)

4577  US M1861 BAYONET Standard bayonet used on the .58 caliber muskets and the later .50-70 rifles.  Has nice smooth brown patina with only a few areas of heavier rust.  If desirec, most of this could be cleaned off leaving a smmoth surface with very few areas of pitting but some staining.  Some battering at the back of the socket that a few file strokes would fix if you decided to clean it.  Ready fr display with a brown musket, or clean to go with one that is bright.  Average or a little better than these are usually found. $189.00 (View Picture)

1109x U.S. M6 Bayonets, "Demilitarized" Your tax dollars paid to have the blades torch cut about 1-2 inches ahead of the crossguard. We should all be grateful that criminals have been thus deprived of the ability to mount bayonet charges against the law-abiding citizenry. Perhaps I am mistaken and these are unfinished conversions to a rare "snub nose" version for CIA issue to clandestine groups in Iraq, or unsuccessful attempt to duplicate the folding bayonets used on Italian Carcanos. In either case, I am sure you need one for your collection. I only need one for my collection. $12.00 for both front and back pieces, not necessarily from the same bayonet. (View Picture)

U.S. Knives, Machetes, & Daggers

**NEW ADDITION** 14735 CIVIL WAR ERA COLLINS NO. 66 MACHETE - Nice early Collins machete. This is the Model Number 66, with the blade about 19.5 inches and overall length about 24 ¼ inches. False edge about 4 ½ inches. Style of blade markings dates this to the period 1860-1874, according to the “Collins Machetes and Knives” book page 174. The date(?) 1863 is stamped on the butt of the pommel. Handle has brass front and rear pieces and grip is made of stacked leather washers. Grip is excellent. Blade appears to have been sharpened little (if at all) since it left the factory although the blade is rather roughly finished. Smooth brown patina on the blade. I believe that the 1863 is indeed the date of manufacture, and even if it is merely some sort of “rack number” this is still a very nice example of a very early type of machete potentially used by the U.S. military. $295.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 15331 WW2 U.S. Navy Mark I knife and scabbard- (PAL RH-35) - (Cole III, pp74-75). This is the standard PAL configuration with the aluminum pommel, parkerized blade and leather grip washers and plastic scabbard. Overall used VG-fine. Blade finish is a bit thin from honest, careful use. Needs a good cleaning and some of the minor light rust stains will probably diminish considerably. Very lightly sharpened in period of use. Scabbard also VG-fine condition. A nice example of the ubiquitous USN knife that remained in use well into the Vietnam era for shipboard personnel. While not as big or threatening looking as the Mark 2 (or KABAR) type knives, these were very practical and popular and every sailor (and officer!) who could get one was quite happy with it. $95.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 14928 Lot of 3 U.S. Military machetes, with 1 scabbard - (1) Long one is a USN Mark I, Collins Legitimus made in 1944 with the scarce 26 inch blade. No scabbard. Some roughness, staining spots, etc on the blade, but these were used in jungles (and backyards…) so don’t expect them to be shiny brand new! (2) This is a U.S. marked Collins with 22 inch blade, dated 1942 WITH SCABBARD. Blade is in excellent condition, with most of the bright finish, truly exceptional for a WW2 machete. Scabbard is near excellent, but leather is dry and the M1910 belt hook has pulled through the torn loop on the back of the scabbard. Scabbard marked U.S. / MILWAUKEE SADDLERY CO. / 1942. One of the best WW2 machetes we have seen, and one of the few with the early leather scabbards that were prone to rotting away in the soggy jungles. (3) This is a copy of the typical Collins machete, with 20 inch blade and the green stained horn grips found on early Collins 1005 machetes. This one is marked with a semi=legible maker name and trademark (two lions on an arch with a downward sword between them, over two Spanish sounding names). It is marked No. 152K. Overall about good condition showing use. No scabbard. Not sure if this last one is military or not, but it comes as part of the lot. $165.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 556 Collins No. 1005 Machete - This is the type believed to have been used in Spanish American War with heavy thick "bolo" blade, not light type found on WW2 machetes. Type 2 shown in Cole III, p. 36 with coco-bolo wood grips. Scabbard is type with brass throat and tip (as shown with type 3 blade). Blade shows rough forged nature, but has been heavily sharpened (be careful, it is REALLY sharp!). Tooled leather scabbard in good shape, but leather loop is badly cracked and flaking. Brass top plate on throat piece has come loose, but can be soldered (or more easily- fastened with epoxy) back in place. This general type was military issue circa 1898 until the late 1920s. $175.00 (View Picture)

14645 U.S. Model 1910 Bolo made at Springfield Armory in 1913 with correct scabbard - Intended for use as both a weapon and a tool, these were shorter and lighter than the Model 1909 Bolo or the M1904 Hospital knives. The Model 1910 is distinctive for being only made by Springfield, and also in having a scabbard catch similar to that on the M1905 bayonet to engage a small hook on the throat of the scabbard. By 1917 the scabbard catch was eliminated and huge numbers of the later M1917 version were made during WW1. Springfield only made about 59,095 of the M1910 between 1910 and 1918, and that probably includes many of the simplified version. This example made in 1913 and serial number 26833. Pommel has pleasing dull dark appearance, but is mostly a rusty patina. Blade has some roughness or light pitting but hilt retains most of its darkened finish, mixed with patina and light pitting. Attrition of these was very high during the Mexican border campaign and WW1 and we have only encountered a handful of the M1910 version over the years, and most were more heavily used than this. Scabbard has a later 1918 dated replacement cover, but the body is the scarce correct M1910 with the hook for the catch. $325.00 (View Picture)

14975 U.S. Military Collins 18 inch machete, with scabbard - This is a Collins Legitimus made in 1945 with brown painted wood handle. Typical of late war machetes, this has the blade left in the rough forged finish, not polished smooth, and has a black oxide type finish. Some scattered light surface rust and crud that will probably clean up, but these are never beautiful, no matter what. Canvas scabbard marked “U.S./BOYT/ -42-“. Scabbard generally VG-fine condition except for a small hole (1/4” dia) poked through the seam where the reinforced tip joins the body. The machete was a key tool for the Pacific campaigns to clear brush for fields of fire, build roads, provide shelter, etc, and belongs in any WW2 collection. $75.00 (View Picture)

SMEW1950 - Landers Frary & Clark (LF&C) U.S. M1917 Trench Knife. This model was the United States first attempt at a trench warfare style fighting knife. In 1917 several designs for a new trench knife to equip U.S. troops with were submitted to the U.S. ordinance department. The design chosen was by Henry Disston & Sons. M1917 Trench Knifes were equipped with a triangular "bayonet-style" blade. The one piece grips were cut for finger groves and made of walnut. The knuckle-guards were stamped steel "flanged" or "knobbed" styles.

This trench knife has the "knobbed" style knuckle-guard with 6 wicked looking pyramid shaped knobs protruding. The cross guard is marked "U.S. / L.F.&C./ 1917". The blade is in very good to excellent condition with some slight wear. Walnut handle is very good with one or 2 small cracks that could probably be glued and repaired by someone who is good with woodworking. Examples in very good - excellent condition like this are getting hard to find. $350.00 (View Picture)

10381 TL-29 ELECTRICIAN/MECHANIC/POCKET KNIFE MADE BY CAMILLUS - Used about good. Type with the black bakelite or plastic type grip scales. Basically just dirty although something has been ground off the grips on one or both sides, and af ew minutes with a file and some fine sandpaper would blend most of that in. Blades usually sharpened, and some have markings (some sort of alphanumeric stuff) etched on them, in addition to the Camillus, New York maker markings. Some blades lightly ground where those sorts of markings were removed. Many Gis of all branches carried these and they are still an issue item today. Have several. $12.00 (View Picture)

Foreign Bayonets

15427 GERMAN MODEL 1898/05 N/A “BUTCHER BLADE” BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 86-1) Unlike most which were made by the various blade makers at Solingen, this one was made by Simson & Co. in Suhl. A.G. Oberndorff a/N. The crown/W /16 on the spine of the blade (not included in photos) indicate it as made for the Prussian military of Kaiser Wilhelm in 1916. This is a slightly dirty bayonet which will look a LOT better with a gentle cleaning. Blade is unsharpened since manufacture with only some very light fingerprint rust over the original bright finish. Hilt has a smooth lightl brown patina. Good Walnut grips. The scabbard has a thumb size dent on the outer side near the tip, and the blue finish has turned to plum mixed with brown patina. The brazed seam where the sides are joined is slightly separated for about two inches near the tip (one side only) and this was not even noticed the first few times we handled this bayoent. Tiny screw missing that holds the throat piece in place. These were the less common standard bayonet of the Germans in WW1, and by WW2 they had mostly been scrapped and the bayonets used had a shorter conventional knife blade. This needs a good cleaning and will look much better. Uncommon maker. $145.00 (View Picture)

14932 Argentine Model 1891 bayonet and scabbard (aluminum grips) - (Janzen 2-1). This is the most common of the Argentine Model 1891 bayonets, which were also used on some of the later M1909 rifles as well. Although Janzen speculates that the brass grips were for police or naval use, Colin Webster’s definitive study of the Argentine Mauser rifles confirms that the first 40,000 bayonet (serial numbers with A through D prefix) delivered in 1892-1893 has brass grips. The remaining 190,000 (E through W prefix) bayonet had aluminum grips, adopted as a weight reduction measure. (See Webster pages 91-97.) This one has a small dent in the scabbard and the steel po9mmel turning a dull steel gray color, otherwise and excellent plus example. As with most of the M1891 bayonets, this has had the Argentine crest removed. However, you can see that the blade and scabbard have matching numbers F5625. $95.00 (View Picture)

15431 BRITISH PATTERN 1853 .577 ENFIELD BAYONET - (Skennerton B145, Janzen 45-2) Used by both sides in the Civil War and by later by Commonwealth forces on their Sniders. These were made in large numbers by contractors in England, France, Belgium, and even the US. This one was made in Belgium as indicated by the inspector marks crown/B/[4 A L?]. Letter "B&W" and "R.D." also on the blade. 35. Blade has mostly bright polished appearance mixed with some staining and scattered light pitting, all covered with some dried oil or grease. Socket was originally blued, but has now turned to a smooth, patina mixed with some surface rust and crud, but may clean up to reveal some blue/plum underneath. A good representative example for the Civil War collector. These are also a loose fit on US Springfield muskets. $149.00 (View Picture)

15429 JAPANESE TYPE 30 BAYONET WITH SCABBARD- EXCELLENT - (Janzen 133-2). Made by an unknown company under Nagoya supervision. Overall excellent condition with about 95-97% original high quality arsenal blue finish. Slight scabbard streaks on the blade and minor wear on the sharp edges of the guard. Still had lots of grease on the blade until we cleaned it off for the photos. The Type 30 bayonet was issued with both the 6.5mm Type 30 rifles and the 7.7mm Type 99 rifles, as well as some carbines. One of the best Jap bayonets we have had in a long time. $149.00 (View Picture)

15361 Japanese Type 30 Bayonet, scabbard & Frog (trainer type) - (Janzen 134-2 is similar) (Johnson Jap Bayonets JB 177 and frog BF16) This is one of the poor quality, crudely made bayonets intended for use in training, often with inferior quality rifles suitable for drill only. (At a time when the U.S. Navy was using the wooden Parris Dunn dummy rifles Mark I and the plastic bayonets, we cannot be too critical of the Japanese measures.) This has the rounded, birds head pommel, with straight crossguard and fluted blade. The scabbard is a reasonably good quality typical metal scabbard. The frog is a flimsy affair made from a coarse cotton material with a paper core. Color of the frog is a greenish brown. (The camera managed to distort the colors to both extremes, but it is midway between the shades shown). The back of the from has damage to the belt loops, not broken entirely through, but severely weakened. The securing strap is some sort of rubberized material so I will not attempt to remove it. Bayonet has some surface rust and a burned area on the left grip. Overall say about Good for the entire rig. $95.00 (View Picture)

15308 German Model 1898/05 N/A “Butcher Blade” Bayonet & Scabbard - (Janzen 86-1) Unlike most which were made by the various blade makers at Solingen, this one was made by Mauser- Waffenfabrik Mauser, A.G. Oberndorff a/N. The crown/W /15 on the spine of the blade indicate it as made for the Prussian military of Kaiser Wilhelm in 1915. This one has suffered from poor storage, either on some WW1 battlefield, or in Bubba’s garage. The blade is pretty good but with some rust and staining. The hilt has a mix of patina and heavier rust with some pitting on the pommel. The left grip has a 1 inch chunk missing. The scabbard has two dents on the outer side near the tip, and a fair amount of blue finish mixed with patina and rust. These were the less common standard bayonet of the Germans in WW1, and by WW2 they had mostly been scrapped and the bayonets used had a shorter conventional knife blade. This needs a good cleaning and will look much better. Uncommon maker. $95.00 (View Picture)

14861 French Model 1886/1893/1916 Lebel Bayonet - (Janzen 71-3) Originally made for the Mle 1886 Lebels, these were used in various configurations right up to WW2. The earliest version has a silver colored alloy handle, and the later ones used a brass handle with a different construction. The early ones had a hooked crossguard, modified in 1916 to remove the hook. Although designed for the Lebels, these were standard for the Mannlicher-Berthier Mle 1907, 1915 and 1916 rifles. Overall condition is G-VG except the mismatched numbers on the scabbard and the scabbard having some bends and waves in it, although it fits fine. Extra long blade handy for prominent display of surrender flags, or spit for a snail BBQ. $95.00 (View Picture)

14948 Argentine Model 1891 bayonet and scabbard (brass grips) - (Janzen 2-2). Although Janzen speculates that the brass grips were for police or naval use, Colin Webster’s definitive study of the Argentine Mauser rifles confirms that the first 40,000 bayonet (serial numbers with A through D prefix) delivered in 1892-1893 has brass grips. The remaining 190,000 (E through W prefix) bayonet had aluminum grips, adopted as a weight reduction measure. (See Webster pages 91-97.) This is an VG-fine example with some storage stains and dirt a few small rust spots. Will look much better after a good cleaning. As with most of the M1891 bayonets, this has had the Argentine crest removed. Scabbard is from the N series but in the same condition as the bayonet even though it was switched at some point. $110.00 (View Picture)

14911 RUSSIAN MODEL 1891/30 MOSIN NAGANT BAYONET - (Janzen 164-3) The standard WW2 and later era bayonet for the Mosin Nagant, with the spring loaded plunger for locking. This is an exceptionally excellent condition example of an exceptionally crudely made bayonet. Obviously made during the desperate days of WW2, by marginally capable workers with worn and badly adjusted machinery with absolutely no attention to any sort of final finishing. Good enough to stick a Kraut, I guess. Probably went directly to storage until released with the recent glut of surplus Mosin Nagants, showing just a few handling blemishes to the 99% dark blue-black finish. $35.00 (View Picture)

SMEW1980 BRITISH PATTERN 1907 BAYONET. MANUFACTURED BY WILKINSON. - Bayonet and scabbard are in very good+ condition. Bayonet retains about 95% blue finish on the hilt and rear inch of the blade, and about perfect walnut grips. Balance of blade has the correct semi-shiny/frosty finish. Scabbard is black leather with nice bluing on the metal tip and throat. Crossguard has some light scratches. $85.00 (View Picture)

14463 British Pattern 1907 Bayonet for No. 1 Mark III .303 Enfields - Australian made example with typical Australian WW2 markings. One side of blade has broad arrow, the X for the bending test, and OA indicating manufacture at Orange. Other side has small 2-43 date. Pommel has Australian style unit mark D over 19170. Grips marked SLAZ 42, another Australian maker mark. Metal parts with about 60-70% blue finish remaining, but very dirty and mixed with some very light surface rust and a few patches of heavier rust on the blade. I think the blade rust will come off with a careful cleaning and look a lot better. No scabbard with this one, but priced accordingly. These were the standard bayonets for the .303 No. 1 Mark III rifles throughout WW1 and WW2. $40.00 (View Picture)

14369 M4 BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINE- MADE BY KIFFE IN JAPAN - Identical to US WW2 production except for the finish (blue instead of parkerized) and the markings (KIFFE/ JAPAN on the blade instead of initials on the guard). Used fine to excellent. A good filler at a large savings over the price of a U.S. GI bayonet. No scabbard but any of the US M8/M8A1 types will fit. $45.00 (View Picture)

SMEW1972 BRITISH PATTERN 1913 BAYONET MANUFACTURED BY REMINGTON. - This is the correct bayonet for either the British P-14 or the US M1917 rifle Blade is marked ''1913/ 2 17/ REMINGTON'' on the reverse ricasso and with British inspectors marks on the ricasso. All markings are sharp, crisp and clear. Bayonet retains about 95% blue finish on the hilt and rear inch of the blade. The walnut grips have the distinctive two notches to distinguish these from the earlier British Pattern 1907 bayonets. Scabbard is black Leather with painted steel tip and throat. This is a scarce bayonet, one of the few 1913 models that we have had in a long time $150.00 (View Picture)

13627 Peabody Martini Turkish Cruciform socket bayonet - (Janzen 190-1) Blade is 20 ¾ inches long and the socket is 2 5/8” long. Socket is made so that the bayonet is positioned underneath the barrel, unlike most other sockets where it is positioned on the right side of the barrel. No markings noted. Original blue finish has turned mostly plum mixed with surface rust but may clean up to look a lot better, but not new. Similar to the Swiss Vetterli bayonet but those are usually marked and have a notch in the bridge for the front sight blade. $125.00 (View Picture)

13609 UNFINISHED PEABODY SWORD BAYONET BLADE (TURKISH CONTRACT) - Part of a large order by Turkey circa 1875, to be made by Providence Tool Company, along with the Peabody rifles. Shortly after production of the sword bayonets began, the order was changed and socket bayonets ordered instead. Apparently the new policy was that only NCOs would be issued the sword bayonets, while the troops would have the sockets. Unusual item in that it shows the process of manufacturing one of these. The blade is nearly at its final form, while the tank has not yet been fitted with the grips, crossguard or pommel. Finished version would have been Janzen 190-2. Overall light pitted and sort of rusty looking. Interesting oddity for the adventuresome collector. $75.00 (View Picture)

13732 P1907 BAYONETS & SCABBARDS (LOT OF 2) - One fairly nice blade marked JAC (John A Chapman, one of the less common makers) with good color and not badly sharpened. However the right grip scale is cracked and the catch button assembly is missing. Scabbard has a ratty frog and has been repaired with a splint at the tip and some electrician’s tape. Other bayonet made by EFD (Enfield) in 1915, a very common maker. Scabbard it pretty good WW1 issue with the tear drop stud, although dirty on this one. Good grips and catch assembly, but glade is a bit worn. Both will look better when cleaned up and you can fix up the Chapman using the other parts if you like. Buy the two of them cheap at only $85.00 (View Picture)

13731 Spanish Military Bolo and scabbard (circa 18901-1918?) - This features the distinctive bolo shape peculiar to Spanish edged weapons from the 1890s and lingering as late as 1969 in various bayonets, fighting knives and bolos. (That would be a neat little collecting niche all by itself- Spanish Bolo Blades!) This is in excellent plus condition with about 95% of the arsenal blue (original or refinish??) on the hilt and scabbard mounts. Blade is polished bright, but covered with a dried grease. One small fingerprint size rust spot on the right side of the blade near the tip. Blade is very hard to insert in scabbard, due to the dried greas and needs to be cleaned up and then should fit fine. Nifty thumb spring on the top of the hilt for a scabbard catch. An unusual piece. Come to think of it, Spanish military arms would be an interesting and collecting specialty, with a nice variety of rifles and edged weapons to chase, without taking out a second mortgage every time you want to buy something. I like this blade, and know you will too. $295.00 (View Picture)

13730 SPANISH MODEL 1893 MAUSER BAYONET DATED 1895 WITH SCABBARD - (Janzen 175-1.c) An nice clean example of this bayonet used from 1893 until the end of WW2 with the M1893 Spanish Mausers and the later M1916 versions. Excellent markings "ARTILLERIA Fca DE TOLEDO 1895" on the ricasso. Grips have been arsenal replaced and metal cleaned and edge sharpened in service, now a pleasing dull steel gray color. Black leather scabbard with steel mounts in good condition. Nice addition to a Spanish American War collection. Earliest dated example we have encountered. $135.00 (View Picture)

13388 ARGENTINE MODEL 1909 BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 2-3) Serial number C6671 matching on blade and scabbard. Argentine crest and Modelo Argentino 1909 above serial number. Other side of ricasso has maker name Weyersberg. Bright finished blade and hilt appear to have been lightly cleaned but are very attractive. Blued scabbard has about 95% left, and is free from dents. Overall fine to excellent. Although the M1909 was basically a Gew 98 Mauser, they had the adaptor on the bayonet lug to use this type bayonet with muzzle ring high above the grip, unlike the G98/K98 bayonets. Thus the previously purchased M1891 bayonets would work on the new M1909 rifles and vice versa. $95.00 (View Picture)

13333 German K98k Bayonet & scabbard 1941 - Officially the Model 1884/98 third pattern with the composition (bakelite) grips. Numbers on scabbard and the bayonet do not match, but condition is about right and they came together and both are dated 1941. Bayonet made by agv (Berg&Co, Solingen-Ohligs) and scabbard by cvl (WKC Waffenfabrik, Solingen Wald). A very nice example with about 90-95% original blue finish, unsharpened blade showing just a bit of scabbard wear. Hilt finish only worn on the sharp edges, clear markings. Scabbard with a bit of finish wear from a frog. Nice grips. An early one that served through the war. $145.00 (View Picture)

12581 SPANISH MODEL 1893 MAUSER BAYONET DATED 1898 - (Janzen 175-1.c) An nice clean example of this bayonet used from 1893 until the end of WW2 with the M1893 Spanish Mausers and the later M1916 versions. Crisp etched "ARTILLERIA Fca DE TOLEDO 1898" marking on the ricasso. Grips have been replaced and metal cleaned in service, but now a pleasing dull steel gray color with faint traces of serial number on the crossguard. Blade edge has been lightly sharpened. Nice addition to a Spanish American War collection. $75.00 (View Picture)

11048 SWISS MODEL 1957 SIG BAYONET, SCABBARD & FROG - (Janzen 188-1) Exceptionally well designed weapon, made of stainless steel with a true double edged blade. Ribbed black plastic grips. Latch is unusual in that you grab both ends and slide it down, instead of pushing from one side. With black nylon type scabbard. Reportedly many were sold to Chile, and others were used by Swiss reservists. Overall VG-fine condition. $35.00 (View Picture)

12128 VERY EARLY BRITISH P1907 BAYONET- ORIGINALLY WITH HOOK QUILLON - Made at Enfield in November 1908 (EFD 11/08 markings). Hook removed, but even altered examples are scarce. Looks like it was arsenal refinished and blade given new frosty gray finish, and hilt and rear inch of blade blued. Good markings, about 90% or more of the refinish remains, except for thumbprint size areas on pommel which has rust. Good grip scales. No unit markings noted. No scabbard. $95.00 (View Picture)

11914 BRITISH NO 4. MARK II BAYONET WITH TAPERED SCABBARD AND FROG - (Janzen 60-2) Made for the No 4 Mark I SMLE rifles, this was a very cheap but efficient people sticker and camp tool. This one has the common tapered scabbard body. Frog is dated 1952. There are a mind boggling number of variations of spike bayonets and scabbards for the truly obsessed collector to chase, and Graham Priest's superb "Spirit of the Pike" is just the book to help you have hours of fun with a very affordable specialty. It will certainly amuse your spouse to see you playing with dozens of the same sort of bayonet exclaiming "They're all different!" $20.00 (View Picture)

11913 BRITISH NO 4. MARK II BAYONET WITH TUBULAR SCABBARD AND FROG - (Janzen 60-3) Made for the No 4 Mark I SMLE rifles, this was a very cheap but efficient people sticker and camp tool. This one has the scarce tubular scabbard body. Frog is dated 1952. There are a mind boggling number of variations of spike bayonets and scabbards for the truly obsessed collector to chase, and Graham Priest's superb "Spirit of the Pike" is just the book to help you have hours of fun with a very affordable specialty. It will certainly amuse your spouse to see you playing with dozens of the same sort of bayonet exclaiming "They're all different!" For this less common one the price is $35.00 (View Picture)

11611 BRITISH PATTERN 1913 BAYONET FOR P14 RIFLE BY WINCHESTER WITH SCABBARD - Pretty nice example, except that there is only about 5-10% thin finish left. Not rusty or pitted, just no finish. Marked with 1913 over 1-17 and letter W. Nice markings, good walnut grip scales with the two notches for visual recognition that this will not fit the very similar Pattern 1907 bayonet for the SMLE. Very good black leather scabbard with steel tip and throat pieces. A nice representative Winchester made bayonet for your P14 rifle, and they are surprisingly hard to find. $149.00 (View Picture)

11452 FRENCH MODEL 1874 GRAS BAYONET & SCABBARD - Made at St. Etienne in February 1878 and so engraved on the spine of the blade. Matching number 72017 on crossguard and scabbard. Scabbard is free from dents and has about 95% original blue left, mixed with some scattered light patina/surface rust that should clean off easily. Blade about perfect with original bright polished finish. Good walnut grips. Some light stain and patina on the crossguard that should clean off okay. Nicest example we have seen in a long time of the Gras bayonet used by the French at the height of their status as a worldwide colonial power. (Compared to their present delusions of grandeur where they wish to snub the Americans who twice saved their sorry butts from speaking German.) $110.00 (View Picture)

11446 TURKISH BAYONET FOR G1(FAL) RIFLE (ERSATZ TYPE) - Double ring Ersatz bayonet with scabbards. Fullered blade, straight crossguard type in excellent condition (but somewhat crudely made) with 90%+ finish intact. Since these are all rehab bayonets cobbled together from old parts they show plenty of use to the steel but were refinished after conversion to the latest configuration. The Turks have produced an incredible variety of extremely crudely made "ersatz" bayonets using salvaged parts. Besides the ones made for the boatloads of shabby old Mausers of all sorts, they made them for M1 Garands and even the latest FAL type rifles. $35.00 (View Picture)

11312 SPANISH CETME BOLO BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 177-2) Featuring the uniquely Spanish bolo blade shape, this is a cousin of the M1941 bayonet with a similar blade. Checkered plastic grips. Overall excellent condition with about 98% original dark gray parkerized typo finish. These will also fit the Mauser FR-8 rifles converted to mimic the appearance of the SETME rifles. $35.00 (View Picture)

11311 SPANISH MODEL 1941 BOLO BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 177-1) Featuring the uniquely Spanish bolo blade shape, this one has the coarsely checkered wood grips. These will fit the M1893, 1916 and 1943 Mausers, but no the "Standard Model" or the 1943 Air Force rifles which both used conventional K98 type bayonets. A fairly scarce and impressive looking bayonet to add to your collection. Overal about VG-fine condition with some staining and a few light pits here and there. $85.00 (View Picture)

11310 GERMAN WW1 "BUTCHER BLADE" BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 86-1) Officially the Model 1898/05 N/A with the flashguard on the top of the grip, short ears on the crossguard, and no sawback. This was the most widely used WW1 German bayonet. Made by Alex Coppell in Solingen. Crown/W/15 on the spine of the blade. Finish on scabbard is a mix of blue and patina with lots of small rust bubbles that may clean off, but there is a large area of pitting where the frog was, and another patch by the tip, but no significant dents. Hilt and blade are dull steel gray with staining and scattered light roughness and a small patch of pitting near the tip of the blade. Flashguard has assorted scars from use as a hammer, and there is some minor chipping at the finger grooves on the left grip scale. A good representative example of the type. $175.00 (View Picture)

11062 U.S. BAYONET M1 FOR GARAND, WITH SCABBARD- TURKISH USED? - Regular M1 bayonet by AFH which has been well used, and has about 10-20% of an old field gray-green paint job, as also found on some other Turkish bayonets. Scabbard is stamped steel type with throat piece having a stud for the scabbard catch to engage. I have seen one collector with over a dozen different bayonets used by foreign countries on the M1 rifles that we provided as lend lease or foreign military assistance. Overall G-VG. Scabbard with about 98% of the black oxide or phosphate type finish. $125.00 (View Picture)

11048 SWISS MODEL 1957 SIG BAYONET, SCABBARD & FROG - (Janzen 188-1) Exceptionally well designed weapon, made of stainless steel with a true double edged blade. Ribbed black plastic grips. Latch is unusual in that you grab both ends and slide it down, instead of pushing from one side. With black nylon type scabbard. Reportedly many were sold to Chile, and others were used by Swiss reservists. Overall VG-fine condition. $35.00 (View Picture)

11004 DANISH ISSUE M5A1 BAYONET FOR M1 GARAND WITH SCABBARD - Have several. Excellent to unissued condition with maybe a few streaks of scabbard wear on the parkerized finish. No markings to identify maker or nomenclature. Scabbards are European manufactured similar to the M8A1 but with added British style belt hooks on the sides of the loop, in addition to the M1910 belt hook at the top. Some scabbards have wood grain type appearance others a pebble texture OD, with some throat pieces marked with the Danish crown and HTK. These would have been used with the Danish used M1 Garands being sold through CMP. $45.00 (View Picture)

10818 GERMAN/ MODEL 1898/ PERUVIAN MODEL 1909 LONG BAYONET - (Janzen 156-1) In 1898 the Germans adopted the long Model 1898 bayonet with a 20 rib-back blade. Peru obtained a number of these about 1909, identical to the German Model 1898 N/A with two piece grips and no flash guard, but with their crest stamped on the base of the pommel and no German inspector marks on the blade. Maker is Simson & Co., Suhl. This example is in about good condition with the blade protected by a coat of varnish, and the grips somewhat beat up. Metal parts with some rusty patina, but covered with varnish that should be removed and cleaned up. A few lightly pitted areas on the blade. Not a common bayonet in any condition. No scabbard. $95.00 (View Picture)

10817 FRENCH MODEL 1866 CHASSEPOT BAYONET - Marked on t(Janzen 69-1)he spine of t he blade with the maker and daate "Tulle- Mars [March] 1875. These were made for the French Chassepot bolt action breech loading rifles that used a paper cartridge and a "needle" gun design. Blade is 22.5 inches long, abd about 27.5" overall. Bright finished blade is near excellent and the steel crossguard turned to patina, and a nice mellow tone to the brass grip. One ding onthe right side of the grip which has slightly bent the catch spring, but that could be corrected ifyou desired. (However, do not be like the European museum that was very proud of their work removing a bunch of dents from British shoulder scales (acquired in ferocious combat with French cavalry at Waterloo!) No scabbard. $85.00 (View Picture)

10636 M1891 MOSIN NAGANT BAYONET WITH REPRODUCTION FINNISH SCABBARD - Russian doctrine called for bayonet to be kept in place on the Mosin Nagant rifles, probably so the peasant soldiers could be promptly punished if they attempted to throw the bayonet away. That is why you have never seen a Russian scabbard for the Mosin Nagant bayonet (other than the rings one the side of the Cossack saber scabbards which allowed the mounted troops to avoid poking horses or each other with bayonets.) The enlightened Finns decided that the civilized way to carry bayonets when not in combat was in a scabbard attached to the belt. I have never seen an original, but this is a nicely made brown leather copy with brass finial at the tip. The bayonet is a VG condition 1891 with the lock ring, not the common spring loaded plunger, and has the bow and arrow symbol used by Ishevsk prior to 1928. Nice set to go with one of the Finnish used M1891 rifles. $99.00 (View Picture)
