all-bull Posted April 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 8, 2017 Hey there, I'm trying to ID some some socket bayonets and I am driving myself crazy. I've been trying to use Jenzen's book, and everytime I think I find a match, there is one measurement that always seems to be off. So I figured I would post them here! Bayonet #1: Overall length: 21" Socket length: 3" Blade length: 18" Elbow length: approx: 3/4" Socket OD: approx 13/16" Markings: none blade tip: sharp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marysdad Posted April 8, 2017 Share #6 Posted April 8, 2017 The first one looks like a Winchester M1873 socket bayonet. The second one is probably a US M1873 that has been shortened. There was a M1873 Cadet bayonet, however, it had a 16 in. blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all-bull Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted April 8, 2017 Awesome thanks! Those are what I was leaning towards between my reference book and your webpage but figured if I post them here I would know for sure. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
