Original Item: Only One Available. This is a Pre WWI, Philippine-American War (1899-1902) dated U.S. M1892 bayonet, made for the Springfield Model 1892–99 Krag-Jørgensen rifles, some of which were still in use during WWI. It is fitted with its original all steel scabbard with a swivel belt loop on the back.
The "Krag" was the U.S. Army's first repeating rifle, and the M1892 bayonet was based on the Swiss M1889 bayonet, made for use on the 7.5 mm. M1889 Schmidt-Rubin straight-pull bolt-action rifle.
This example is in fair service-used condition, with the original bright finish oxidized to a gray/brown coloration in areas. There is heavy pitting with the very tip of the blade now broken off. Blade shows signs of sharpening, and of heavy overuse, most likely in a tropical environment. The blade could use a good cleaning. The 1892 pattern grips are in good condition with just a few dents and some material loss on one side, and are held in place by domed rivets. The wood does show some wear and is very dark.
The blade is marked 1902 on one side, and US on the other, and has a fully functional bayonet catch. The scabbard is in good condition, though it was repainted black, but it has a fully functional swivel.
This is a good example for being 123 years old! Comes ready for display.
