These are something that we have only ever had very few of. It is a Pre 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 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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis example is in good condition, with the original bright finish oxidized to an untouched greay coloration. Blade shows signs of sharpening, and of honest use, most likely in a tropical environment. The 1892 pattern \"smooth\" grips are in good condition with just a few dents and chips, and are held in place by domed rivets. The wood does show some wear and open grain.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe blade is marked 1897 on one side, and US on the other, and has a fully functional bayonet catch. The scabbard is in very good condition, with a worn blued finish, and a fully functional swivel. The scabbard body is straight, with no real rust issues at all, though it does have some large dents on the body, which is now slightly curved.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e         \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade Length: 11 3\/4\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade Style: Single Edge w\/ Fuller\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOverall length: 16 1\/4“\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCrossguard: 3 1\/4”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScabbard Length: 12 1\/2\"","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39614993268805,"sku":"ONSV8170","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/ONSV8170__02.jpg?v=1636768260","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/spanish-american-war-u-s-model-1892-krag-rifle-bayonet-and-scabbard-dated-1897","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
