This is the Krag – Jorgensen bayonet used on the model 1892 Krag rifle.

The unsharpened blade is bright and very clean. It meas. approx. 11.50 inches long with a central fuller that is approx. 8.00 inches long. Ricasso is marked “US” on one side and “1898” on the other. Edge is free of any nicks but shows some very light casting pock marks and has been sharpened. Overall, the blade is nice.

The hilt has a bird head iron pommel and a flat iron guard with “o” ring. The wood grips are in good condition with some wear around the two iron rivets. Mortise and button attachment work well. Hilt is in overall nice condition.

The steel scabbard is the Type 2 introduced in 1895 with firm locking feature. Each side has a dark patina with some hints of blue and some light denting near the tip.

A nice overall example of an important US service bayonet.  [cm] [ph:L]
