Bayonet found in Creek


 Share

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to show this to everyone. I bought this bayonet from an online dealer. It is a bayonet that was found in a creek as you can tell by the sand and rocks covering it. It's one of those pieces that I wish could talk.

How do you know it's a bayonet?

I only have one picture but if you turn it to the side you can see the socket where you attach it to the rifle. The sizing is also correct to a civil war bayonet. The shape is also the same, the only problem is the long part of the blade was not visible when the digger found it.

Here is a clean bayonet I cropped to show the section that is covered in sand. You can see the similar shape.
