Description
US M1816 socket bayonet for American Civil War era .69 caliber M1816 flintlock musket. An tractive specimen in great condition, considering the age.
Original Civil War era US M1816 socket bayonet for .69 caliber M1816 flintlock musket. This bayonet is used, but it is in very good overall condition for the type. The blade is about 18-1/2” / 47 cm long; the bayonet is about 21-1/8” / 53.5 cm overall; socket length is about 3″ / 76 mm. The blade is straight with no nicks or dings on the spine or edges; original tip is intact. The blade is weakly sharply stamped US on ricasso. There is no scabbard. During WW2 years a lot of surviving M1816 and M1873 “spike” bayonets were cut-up to make trench daggers and fighting knives like this one; this type is scarce this nice and complete.
This scarce US M1816 socket bayonet has not been cleaned or tampered with in any way, it is in 100% original “as is” condition. These are the actual photos. I have a few scarce WW1 and WW2 bayonets, fighting knives, daggers and trench knives available for sale – please take a look in my store’s Militaria section.
