This is a US Model 1873 Bayonet designed for the Model 1873 Springfield "Trapdoor" rifle. These bayonets were used with the different variants of the Trapdoor rifle from 1873 through 1892 with the US Army. Some state and militia units were still using these rifle and bayonet combinations through the Spanish American and Philippine American wars. This model of bayonet was the last socket type bayonet to be used by the US military. The bayonet has a blade length of 18" and a socket length of 3". The original bluing is all but gone from blade, it has taken on a dull steel gray patina will light pitting and surface rust. The US stamp is not visible. The scabbard shows the same condition as the bayonet. The leather frog is still present, but is detached from the scabbard. The brass disk that provides the pivot point for the belt attachment has the raised US letters, making this one a regular army issue. This one isn't pristine, but it will go well with your Indian Wars, Spanish American or Philippine Insurrection collection.
