SMGB-121. *SOLD* 1873 Socket bayonet for the trapdoor rifle

*SOLD* Model 1873 socket bayonet was made for the 1873 Springfield rifle. It was the first bayonet ever to be blued, and was the last socket bayonet to be issued in the US arsenal. Clearly Stamped “US” on the base of the blade, this bayonet is in great shape, without bends, and covered with some minor light rust that doesnt detract from its original bluing and beauty. If you are a collector of Civil War era pieces, or just a trapdoor rifle fan, dont let this beauty pass you by.
