Long Bayonet
Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2021 8:22 pm
This bayonet has an OAL of 20", the blade is 15 1/2". Both sides of blade have a long fuller. Handles are a hardwood held on by 2 screws and 4 'washers'. All looks to be in original condition.
On one side of tang are 4 small overlapping circles and on the other side has 3 ? characters that are hard to make out. It might be 2 "H"s and a stylized eagle, or else characters not from our alphabet.
Can anyone ID this bayonet as to country of origin and approximate age ?
thanks, kj
