Item is the blade only of a Model 1816 bayonet protruding through a block of wood.

Bayonet is the blade section only with the socket being snapped off long ago. Blade is full length and has been painted gold to commemorate the 50^th anniversary of the battle.

The block of wood meas. 4.75 inches long x 2.00 inches at its widest. Wood is still tightly attached to the blade.

With the item is a late 19^th early 20^th century worn tag that reads “END OF A BAYONET FOUND IN A TREE NEAR DUNKER CHURCH ANTIETAM”

This item came with several others from a defunct GAR Post in Connecticut and all had the same blue colored tag with similar script. Tag is torn along the edges with a split at center but is otherwise complete. [ad] [ph:L]
