The bayonet for the US M1835/40 flintlock musket essentially set the pattern for socket bayonets for the rest of the century. The musket went into production at Springfield in 1840 and in addition to other innovations introduced a socket bayonet with a locking ring to keep it on the barrel, something long used by the French, and a long, precisely ground flute on the face of the blade, both of which continued in use on subsequent US socket bayonets. The M1835/40 musket was soon outmoded by the percussion M1842, but the socket bayonet remained unchanged until the introduction of the 1855 series of arms.

This has the early form of the blade with scalloped shoulders rather than shoulders that taper like the 1855 series. It is thought M1835/40 bayonets with those shoulders were made after 1855 for the older .69 caliber muskets being rifled and sighted or as general replacements during the Civil War.

The metal of both socket and blade is smooth. The blade shows as muted silver gray with some darker gray shadowing. The socket is correctly mortised for a bottom mounted bayonet stud. The locking ring is complete and functional. The blade is marked US on the top flat of the blade. [jet][ph:L]
