This is something that we have only ever had very few of! This is a very good condition U.S. M1892 bayonet dated 1902, 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 in such good condition.\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 excellent condition, with the original bright finish and a blade showing very little use. It still has the original factory finish and grind, and the original factory blunt edge. The 1899 pattern \"ribbed\" grips still have a traces of the original texture, and are held in place by the correct dome headed rivets, which were not ground smooth like those pre-1899 bayonets were. It is marked \u003cstrong\u003e1902\u003c\/strong\u003e on one side of the blade ricasso, and \u003cstrong\u003eUS\u003c\/strong\u003e on the other, and has a fully functional bayonet catch. The pommel is in great shape, with just a few areas of very light staining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scabbard is excellent, with almost all of the original blued finish, and a fully functional swivel and belt hook. The scabbard body is straight, with only tiny dents and scratches keeping it from being mint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn excellent barely used example, ready to display or add to your Springfield Krag rifle! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Length: 11 3\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Style: Single Edge w\/ Fuller\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverall length: 16 1\/4“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrossguard: 3 1\/4”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScabbard Length: 12 1\/2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39593986424901,"sku":"ON12683","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/ON12683__02.jpg?v=1635437557","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-pre-wwi-m1892-bayonet-and-scabbard-for-springfield-krag-jorgensen-rifles-dated-1915","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
