This is a very good example of the sword/saber bayonet for the Remington Model 1862 US Contract Rifle, best known as the “Remington Zouave.” The brass hilt has a nice mellow patina, that is not dark and only minor handling marks. The “BH” (Benjamin Hannis) inspector stamp is sharp on the grip flat. As well as a small “L” on the right-side grip and “C” on the opposite. The spring with button release is in place and functional. The blade is unmarked, as is correct, has a good edge and point, with a few small nicks along the edge. The blade is largely bright with some thin gray stains, mostly small, with a few darker spots towards the point. The blade peen at the handle is tight and undisturbed.

The black leather scabbard is very good, with nice color and surface. Only one noticeable crease about 3 inches below the top throat. The brass mounts match the hilt and are tight. The drag shows multiple dings consistent with age and usage. The brass throat stud also has a small “L” stamp.

The Remington Factory produced their Model 1862 U.S. Contract Rifle from 1863 to 1864, delivering 10,001 to the government (the odd number includes one sample gun.) The rifle acquired its nickname among collectors from beautiful and somewhat fancy appearance, like period zouave uniforms, but their period use is undocumented. This would look good with a rifle, of course, but is also a basic piece in a collection of Civil War bayonets and edged weapons. [stp][ph:L]
