A better U.B. Co. button backmark.  

Please forgive me for asking this, but are those real? I am not a medal guy so I have no idea, but something about them looks strange? No offense intended.

Thank you Tony V

Boy   what a nice addition to your collection, and at a super price ! Congrats   Tony

Just enjoy the photo of what you would probably never have otherwise see.

Please do not start with all the Anti MOH discussion. PLEASE.

This was moved from ID to this forum, but I am still struggling with ID of the bayonet.  It is unlikely that it was collected at the same place or time as the bullet.  I have looked in the World of Bayonets page and this doesn't seem to match any of them, at least to me.  It is probably too far gone to identify and it is certainly in undesirable shape for selling, but I am still curious to figure out what I can.  I'd really like to know if it is Revolutionary or Civil War.  The overall length of the bayonet is 15.5"  Seems short?  The socket part is 2 11/16" long.  The diameter of the socket is roughly 1" OD and 7/8-15/16" ID  The top is sharp, I see no evidence of a sacrificial welded tip.  I see no ID markings.  Again this would have been collected somewhere in VA by my Dad, likely near the Hampton/Yorktown/Richmond area.  If any other measurements or picture angles would help, let me know

Thanks a lot
