MODEL 1873 45/70 TRAPDOOR BAYONET AND SCABBARD:
This set is in very good condition. The bayonet has a
smooth, shiny surface that still retains much of the
bright arsenal blue finish, a strong “US” stamp, and
very minimal pitting on the socket. The scabbard still
retains a blue finish, now turning to plum brown, with
some light pitting, . The leather frog has a smooth
shiny surface and the leather belt loop is legibly
marked “Rock Island Arsenal” on the front and with the
inspector’s initials on the reverse. All of the
stitching is intact on the frog and the brass swivel
turns smoothly without being loose. (C0032) $250
