This is a very scarce piece. It is a Pre WWI, Spanish-American War dated U.S. M1892 bayonet, 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 first pattern 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.\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 great condition, with the original bright finish and only a few small isolated areas of staining. Blade shows signs of sharpening, and of honest use, most likely in a tropical environment. The 1892 pattern grips are in good condition with just a few dents and chips, with a bit of material loss on one side, and are held in place by domed rivets. The wood does show some wear and open grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is marked 1897 on one side, and \u003cstrong\u003eUS \u003c\/strong\u003eon the other, and has a fully functional bayonet catch. The hilt shows just the right patina, and the blade is near flawless. The scabbard is in very good condition, with a blued finish, and a fully functional swivel, the first pattern. The swivel is still in great order. The scabbard body is straight with some surface rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an excellent example for being 130 years old! An extremely desirable year for this bayonet! Comes ready for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\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\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42743959158853,"sku":"ONJR25APLM134","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR25APLM134__01.jpg?v=1747076805","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-spanish-american-war-model-1892-krag-rifle-bayonet-and-rare-first-pattern-scabbard-dated-1897-excellent","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
