  • Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a very interesting Revolutionary War era socket bayonet which had its socket heavily cut down for use as a polearm. There is a small screw in the side of the cut-down socket which was meant to affix it to the pole.

    The 13½” blade shows heavy wear and oxidation, and is marked on the ricasso P over an indecipherable letter. We are not sure what this marking indicates.

    The overall length of the bayonet is 15½”. It has heavy wear and pitting across its construction. One of the most interesting socket bayonets we have offered, ready for further research and display.

    Specifications:
    Blade Length: 13½"
    Blade Style: Socket
    Overall length: 15½“
    Crossguard: 3 1/4"

  • IMA considers all of our antique guns as non-firing, inoperable and/or inert. Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 921(a)(16) defines antique firearms as all guns made prior to 1899. This law exempts antique firearms from any form of gun control or special engineering because they are not legally considered firearms. No FFL, C&R or any license is required to posses, transport, sell or trade Antique guns. All rifles and muskets sold by IMA that were manufactured prior to 1899 are considered Antiques by the US BATF (United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms). Therefore, all of IMA's Antique guns may be shipped to all US States and most nations around the world.

    These antique guns are not sold in live condition. They are sold as collector’s items or as wall hangers. Any attempt at restoring an antique gun to be operational is strongly discouraged and is done so at the risk of the customer. By purchasing an antique gun from IMA you thereby release IMA, its employees and corporate officers from any and all liability associated with use of our Antique guns.

    Pre-1899 Manufacture, no licenses required, allowed to ship to almost any deliverable address across the globe.
