| M-1892 U.S. KRAG BAYONET with ORIGINAL BLUED BLADE |
Dated 1894. Very rich niter blue remaining in the fuller (both sides) and the blade flat (ricasso - both sides). Blade opposite the sharp edge demonstrates aspects of niter blue. Both Brophy and Mallory indicate that the bluing process ceased on Krag Bayonets in April, 1895. Expanded to include every bayonet produced to that point results in thousands of blue blade bayonets. Why would we not encounter more examples? Would ordnance so expertly remove all the bluing on all those bayonets? Opinion states that the number of blued blade bayonets is measured in the hundreds, not the thousands. Examples are extremely scarce. This is the first I've offered for sale. Bayonet overall is in very good cond. Very decent grips; uncleaned patina on crossguard and cap.
