This is a very good original U.S. Model 1892 Krag knife bayonet, manufactured at Springfield Armory and dated 1900, accompanied by an all-steel Krag scabbard with swiveling belt attachment. The 1900 manufacture date places the bayonet squarely within the Philippine-American War era, when the Krag-Jørgensen was the principal U.S. Army service rifle, although no individual provenance presently establishes that this specific bayonet served in the Philippines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is in very good condition, with the original bright finish oxidized to a gray\/brown coloration. The blade has been sharpened, and shows heavy use. The edge does show sharpening wear with a few small nicks present. The 1892 pattern ribbed grips are in fair condition with some dents and chips, and are held in place by ground flat domed rivets. The wood does show some heavy wear and open grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is marked \u003cb\u003e1900 \u003c\/b\u003eon one side, and \u003cb\u003eUS \u003c\/b\u003eon the other, and has a fully functional bayonet catch, though it is a bit stiff. The scabbard is in good condition, with a blued finish, and a fully functional swivel. The scabbard body is straight, with scattered surface oxidation spotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of the 1900 Springfield manufacture date, standard 11¾-inch Krag blade, U.S. ricasso marking, heavily worn period wooden grips, functional locking catch, and accompanying early-pattern all-steel swivel scabbard makes this a strong representative example of U.S. Army edged equipment from the Philippine-American War era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: 11 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eBlade Style: Single Edge w\/ Fuller\u003cbr\u003eOverall length: 16 1\/4“\u003cbr\u003eCrossguard: 3 1\/4”\u003cbr\u003eScabbard Length: 12 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45751488380997,"sku":"ONJR25MYMF037","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/50DB3687-0B49-4701-A6BF-C31859783105.jpg?v=1789401264","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-philippine-american-war-model-1892-krag-rifle-bayonet-and-2nd-pattern-scabbard-dated-1917","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
