This is a nice example of the .69 caliber socket bayonet known to collectors as the U.S. Model 1842 Socket Bayonet. The designation as the Model 1842 is only a modern term of convenience used by collectors, and was never used by the US Ordnance Department. The reality is that this pattern of socket bayonet was not even produced until after 1855. The more correct term would be the US Model 1835 “Replacement” Bayonet. These bayonets were produced after the adoption of the US Model 1855 socket bayonet and were intended to replace those earlier Model 1835 socket bayonets.

This .69 caliber US M1835/42 Replacement Bayonet is in nice condition. The blade is full-length at 18” and the original locking ring is present on the socket and remains fully functional. The blade has a dull, semi-bright patina with scattered dark spotting. No edge nicks. The elbow and socket show a dark brown tone. The ricasso of the blade is clearly and crisply marked with the usual U.S. stamping. [jet] [ph:L]
