Original era manufacture. A clean example, featuring a satin blue steel finished socket bayonet, with a chrome parade finish to the steel scabbard. The blade is very clean, with just a light dusting of surface corrosion which can be easily cleaned away. Brass hook suspension to allow wear with the woven cartridge belt of the era. Nice and clean Indian War & Spanish American War era bayonet.The parade finish may have been added for GAR use, or perhaps a NG or US Army color guard.
