Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. These are something that we have only ever had very few of. It is a very good condition U.S. M1892 bayonet dated 1896, 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.
The "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.
This example is in very good condition, with the original bright finish and a great blade with some post arsenal sharpening. The 1892 pattern "smooth" grips are in great shape with just a few dents and chips, and are held in place by the correct ground smooth flat-rivets, which were changed after 1899 to domed rivets. It is marked 1896 on one side, and US on the other, and has a fully functional bayonet catch.
The scabbard is in very good condition, with much of the original blued finish, and a fully functional swivel. The scabbard body is mostly straight, though about 4 inches from the bottom there is some substantial denting, and it looks somewhat like the end of the scabbard was used to pry things open for a time, resulting in scratching on one edge.
