Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available: These are very RARE! Just about the longest sword bayonet used in the U.S. Civil War, with a 25 1/2" blade and overall length of 30 1/4". This was made for the M-1862 MERRILL NAVY RIFLE, and features a ribbed brass solid grip, including the muzzle ring and cross guard. The top of the grip shows serial number 10085 and the ricasso of the blade is clearly dated 1862.
Condition is very nice, with just some light specking and staining on the blade, which does not show much use, and was never sharpened, still retaining the factory "blunt" edge. The pommel is also in good shape, with a lovely aged brass patina.
No Scabbard included, ready to display!
