Original era manufacture. A clean, Chassepot pattern bayonet, which is maker marked by the German firm of Alexander Coppel on the ricasso. The blade appears to have been cleaned at some point, and measures 22.5 inches in length, with the tip being slightly blunted. Hooked steel guard, with a cast brass grip. Very nice black leather bodied scabbard with a brass throat and chape. I tried this bayonet on our French Chassepot rifle and it snapped right in place, also on our Bavarian Werder, the muzzle ring was correct but the lock stud was tight. Likely made for export after the Franco-Prussian War.
