Original U.S. Springfield Trapdoor Model 1873 Trowel Bayonet
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Designed to fit a 45/70 Trapdoor Springfield Rifle, these you just don't see anymore, especially in this condition. These will fit any M-1873 dated Springfield trapdoor rifle that uses a regular ram rod. The rear portion of the socket rotates to allow it to be locked onto the barrel.
An ingenious bayonet in the shape of a gardening trowel that when fitted to the muzzle of the rifle can double as an entrenching tool to dig in, or as a bayonet as the trowels edges are sharp as is the point. Blade is 10-inch long and 3 3/8 inches wide, with a reinforced spine. The hilt portion of the Trowel/Bayonet still bears its heavily blued finish. The blade is still bright with age spots. Latching hinge in the socket is fully functional.
Lightly knurled grip section, with a patent marking on the right side above the hole for the front sight. In very nice condition ready to display
