Original item: Only One Available. This is very rare, especially in the wonderful all original Condition. The steel is bright and the bayonet has a 16″ blade, with an overall length of 20 1/2″. The grips are wood secured by two rivets, ground smooth. It bears the Rifle’s serial number 311690 and comes in its original steel scabbard with an integral leather belt frog. The top of the crossguard is clearly marked WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO.. There is a bit of oxidation on the hilt and blade, and the scabbard does show some wear, typical for a bayonet well over 100 years old.
Please see Watts & White’s wonderful work THE BAYONET BOOK, Page 432, item 916 in the U.S. Section.
