Add this piece to your collection today and own a piece of American military history.

Original Item: possibly a U.S. M1892 bayonet dated 1897, possibly made for the Springfield Model 1892–99 Krag-Jørgensen rifles, some of which were still in use during WWI. These are very rarely seen on today\'s market.

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.

The \"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 1897 on one side, and US on the other.

Blade Length: 7 1/2\"

Blade Style: Single Edge w/ Fuller

Overall length: 12\"

Handle length:4 1/2\" x 1\"

Crossgaurd: 2 5/8\"

Not sure if the Crossguard was modified, as it is missing the muzzle ring or if this one just happened to be made like this.
