Socket bayonet made at the Bay State Tool Company in Northhampton, Massachusetts. This bayonet was intended for use with the Spencer infantry rifle.

This example is in good condition. The metal surfaces are light gray with brown patchy mottling overall.  Blade measures approximately 18 ½” long and is unmarked. Socket is also unmarked. Locking ring works properly and the location of the stop pin is one of the keys to its identification. See Society of American Bayonet Collector’s Journal, volume 26, Winter 1998 for specific information.  [jet]
