DEPT. stamp within an oval on its surface. Very sound condition black leatherscabbard and frog, with steel fittings which once had a blue finish, now an even steel patina.I doubt this bayonet ever saw much service use, with most of its minor age issues being the result of storage. Light clouding and staining to the blade surface, pommel and guard. All of the edges are crisp, with nosharpening to the cuttingedge and the point remainsquite sharp.A scarce bayonet, especially with the US Navy markings.
