Original Item: Only One Available. One of Britain’s most romantic bayonets this really looks like a Pirate’s Boarding Cutlass but it doubles as a bayonet that fits the P-1858 Two Band Enfield Percussion Rifled Musket. Principally used by the Navy, these were also carried by Artillery and Pioneers on various occasions since it really is an all-purpose weapon. This type of bayonet was also utilized during the U.S. Civil war.
The blade marked with the Contractor’s knight’s helmet logo, the hard leather grips are in truly excellent condition showing virtually no wear or damage from water which causes swelling and distortion.
The steel has a pleasing grey patina and the blade although in fine condition shows some fighting dings most probably from two little boys pretending to be Errol Flynn. This will fit nicely into any bayonet collection.
A hard to find pre U.S. Civil War Cutlass Bayonet, measuring over 32
