blackhawkdown Posted October 21, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2011 Dug bayonet found in 1960's in southern Missouri. Look at the twisted tip, could this be an Ernst's bayonet guard with out the wood knob on the end? http://www.life.com/news-pictures/51328675...ayonet-practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkdown Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share #2 Posted October 21, 2011 the tip, maybe some just heated it in a fire, stuck it in a tree and twisted it. Anyone have something like it? What gun does it fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still-A-Marine Posted October 22, 2011 Share #5 Posted October 22, 2011 Its a British Enfield bayonet. Most likely a P1853. It would go on the Enfield .59 calibre rifle. They were used by both sides in the CW. No idea about the twisted end. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1garandgunner Posted October 24, 2011 Share #6 Posted October 24, 2011 Maybe the end was twisted from someone throwing it? maybe a kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
