Socket style triangular bayonet?

Post by rarefish383 »

I collect all things Savage. Last week I won the bid on a 1920's Savage toy wooden ball shooter, rifle. Taped to it was a triangle socket bayonet. I can't find any markings, and it's pretty rusty. But, it's not bent or mangled. I'll get pics as soon as I can. I'll probably donate it to the monthly give away. Any guess on a value of it, just as a cool collectable, nothing special?

Hard to ID without pictures and measurements.

How long is the socket? What is the INSIDE diameter of the socket. What is the width of the blade at its base? What does the slot look like? Some bayonets can be ID'd from the slot alone.

Looks a lot like a Springfield 1863 bayonet without the clamp band.

Thanks, I'll send pics to a friend. He was big into reenactments back when a lot of guys were still carrying originals.

Looks like a Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle/Musket bayonet.

The unmarked ones are usually considered to Civil War imports.
