Item Description
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a lovely example of a 2nd Pattern Brown Bess Bayonet which is well-marked on the socket H / 37 indicating issue to Company H of the 37th Regiment of Foot, which fought during the Jacobite Rebellion & the American Revolutionary War. The bayonet is also marked with a Crown over 5 inspection mark, indicating production during 1740-1760, which puts it in the perfect timeframe for Revolutionary War issue.
The socket bayonet is in fair condition overall with a dark worn patina across, with the top half of the blade being heavily pitted with oxidation. It measures 21¼” overall and is in good displayable condition. Designed for the .75 bore Brown Bess Musket, which was in service for over 100 years as the primary long arm of the British Empire.
This is a fantastic piece of British colonial history ready for display with your Brown Bess Musket or on its own!
