MODEL 1873 45/70 TRAPDOOR
BAYONET WITH A MODEL 1885 SCABBARD – EXCELLENT
CONDITION:
This set is in excellent condition, a really choice set
from an old collection. The bayonet is in full form and
has a smooth, shiny surface which still retains the
original bright arsenal blue finish and a strong “US”
stamp.
The scabbard likewise
retains its blue finish, with none of the pitting
normally found on these. The leather frog has a smooth
surface with only minor scuffing, and has an even
color. All of the stitching is intact and the leather
is strong and pliable, and the inspector’s initials are
still legibly stamped on the reverse.
The brass hook has a nice
naturally aged patina and it turns freely on the swivel
without being loose.
Not commonly found on the market today in this
condition, this is a very nice set to display with your
high quality Trapdoor Rifle. (0115) $285
