This is an excavated example of a Confederate-made musket socket bayonet, probably for a M-1816 musket. Measuring 20” overall with a 2 5/8” socket. This was made for an early .69 caliber musket with a bayonet lug mounted on the bottom of the barrel; as the bridge in on the top of the socket and the channel turns to the left. This is the type that did not have a locking ring on the socket. The crude, 17 ¼” long triangular blade is unfluted and unmarked.
In relic condition, the metal is pitted. This piece has been cleaned and coated and remains stable.
A rare specimen of a Confederate-made socket bayonet. [jet]
