Description:

Predating the rise of the later socket and lug mounted weapons, the plug bayonet was a major step in arms development, allowing a man to switch on the fly from carrying a firearm to carrying a spear or lance, giving him the advantages of both weapons. 19 3/4" OAL, 13 5/8" triangular blade with gold accented wire etching on a niter blue field adorning the lower two-thirds, bearing scroll and martial motifs. The short cross guard is also gold washed, with a smooth ebony grip with muzzle swell and a brass pommel cap. With a brown leather sheath. Good overall, with a cracked grip and mild wear and pitting.
