MODEL 1816 BAYONET – VERY SOLID SPECIMEN:
This Model 1816 Bayonet is in its original
configuration, as issued with the Model 1816 Flintlock
Musket, and is in very good condition. Showing evidence
of having been issued, the socket is stamped with two
sets of unit inventory numbers. The bayonet is overall
bright, with a smooth surface, and sharp clean edges on
the blade, free of dings or nicks. There are scattered
points of discoloration on the surface of the metal as
the result of handling and age, however no significant
pitting or erosion of the metal due to corrosion. The
16 5/8” long blade is legibly marked “US” and with the
inspector’s initials as can be seen in the photos
below. This is a respectable example of an early US
issue bayonet to finish off your Model 1816 Musket
display. (0903) $275
