Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. Model 1816 Bayonets were the true predecessor to the Model 1855 series bayonet. They are typically American in design, in that they do not have a blade "shoulder." They have deep side fullers (forming a "T" in cross-section) with a top face-flute (or fuller) that runs almost the full length of the blade (about 16 3/4'); the standard Model 1816 has a top face flute of about 9" nominally. These are attached by fitting them over the barrel muzzle, and fastened into position by means of a T-shaped mortise slot. This bayonet does not employ a locking ring.
This is a lovely standard Model 1816 Socket Bayonet with a “U.S.”. marking. This example is excellent, without any serious oxidation or damage. There is some light oxidation pitting which gives it a lovely patina.
A great example, ready for further research and display.

- 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.
