Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. These are something that we have only ever had very few of. It is a very good condition U.S. M1892 bayonet dated 1897, 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. These are very rarely seen on today's market, especially with the scabbard included and fully intact.
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 very good condition, with the original bright finish and a great blade with just a bit of staining, mostly in one spot near the tip. It still has the factory issued "blunt" edge". The 1892 pattern "smooth" grips are in good condition with just a few dents and chips, and are held in place by domed rivets. The wood does show some wear and open grain, and also is marked PA on one side. The blade is marked 1897 on one side, and US on the other, and has a fully functional bayonet catch.
The scabbard is in very good condition, with a worn blued finish, and a fully functional swivel. The scabbard body is straight, with no real rust issues at all, though it does have some large dents on the body, which is now slightly curved.
Straight out of an old collection, still with arsenal grease. Ready to display or add to your Springfield Krag rifle!
