  • Original Item. Only One Available. This is a very interesting Civil War era trainer bayonet which has a rounded tip meant for training purposes. It retains a US surcharge and is heavily oxidized. The socket measures .78” on the bottom and .768” on the top. We aren’t sure what firearm this was meant to attach to.

    The bayonet measures 18⅞” in overall length with a 15¼” blade. The bending of the tip is more akin to the style of M-1912 Springfield Fencing Trainer Bayonet without its leather cover. Perhaps this example was once leather-bound, but we’ll never be able to know.

    A very interesting variation, ready for further research and display.

    Specifications:
    Blade Length: 15 1/4"
    Blade Style: Practice
    Overall length: 18 7/8“
    Crossguard: 2¼"

  • 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.
