Nice socket bayonet for the .45-70 trapdoor rifle. Much of the original finish remains on the blade, less so on the socket which exhibits some light surface rust. Locking ring works well and blade has a crisp "US."

Metal scabbard has much of its original finish with just small scattered amounts of oxidation. Leather frog is good with just light surface wear. Stitching is tight. Some tooling around the edge on the back side and small “JR” stamped. Attached is a large brass hook anchored to the leather frog by a "U.S." rosette. Brass has a nice light patina. There is some verdigris on the leather from contact with the brass but this can easily be cleaned off. Hook does move properly. [jet] [ph:L]
