A 1907 dated bayonet (22 inches overall, 17 inch blade) with leather sheath is also included.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 80% of the arsenal blue finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina, bright edge wear, and scattered light spotting and handling marks. The stock is fine as repaired, with some cracks in the upper handguard stabilized with a spliced-in wood patch, the serial number re-struck on the forearm, a round patch on the right side of the buttstock, and mild dents.
