Sold for: $155.00

Original era manufacture. Square pommel, straight guard, contoured wood grips with a blue finished, later pattern blade without fullers, rather crude in construction with file marks visible. Clear Jinsen arsenel proof on the ricasso, with a general unfinished look to the blade surface, typical for this late pattern bayonet. The grips show original finish with denting and marring from age and use. The two piece wooden scabbard shows a simple lacquered finish with a squared off tip. It is bound in two places with twine and has a metal scabbard loop at the throat. The body of the scabbard is missing a five inch section near the tip. The scabbard loop is pierced to accept a screw, but the screw is missing, doubtful if one was ever installed. Scarce late pattern bayonet.
