1899 BAYONET KRAG JORGENSEN US MODEL 1892 with METAL SCABBARD

Original Item: Only One Available. These are something that we have only ever had very few of. It is a Pre Spanish-American War dated U.S. M1892 bayonet, made for the Springfield Model 1892–99 Krag-Jørgensen rifles, some of which were still in use during WWI. It is fitted with its original all steel scabbard with a swivel belt loop on the back. These are very rarely seen on today's market, especially with the scabbard included and fully intact.

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.

This example is in good condition, with the original bright finish oxidized to an untouched greay coloration.. The wood does show some wear and open grain.The blade is marked 1897 on one side, and US on the other, and has a fully functional bayonet catch. The scabbard is in very good condition, with a worn finish, and a fully functional swivel. The scabbard

body is straight, with no real rust issues at all, though it does have some large dents on the body, which is now slightly curved.
