It has a fullered triangular blade and steel scabbard. The last model of standard issue socket bayonet was used until 1884 when the new model introduced a rod bayonet. It is attached by fitting it over the barrel muzzle and is locked into place with a locking ring. Overall, this socket bayonet is in Fair - Good condition, considering its age and history. The socket, shoulder and blade have light scattered oxidation and scrapes. The locking ring rotates semi-smoothly, also with oxidation. The screw has light tool marks and a strong slot. The blade has no nicks or dings and appears to have its original factory edge. The tip is intact and comes to a sharp straight point. The remaining finish has turned a darker gray patina color. The ricasso is marked "US", there are no other visible markings. The metal scabbard is in Fair - Good condition, considering its age and history. The blade goes in and out correctly. The frog restraining bar is intact and functional. The body has scattered erosion, oxidation and light scrapes. Not much of the original finish remains, but what is left has turned a darker gray patina color. There are no visible markings on the scabbard. The leather frog is in Fair - Good condition, considering its age and history. The loop is technically still usable, but the leather has dried out and we recommend NOT using it to keep it preserved. There are no rips or tears, but it has dried out a little bit and borderline brittle. There are wrinkles and a few light cracks. The stitching is sewn tightly. The swivel is securely attached, but does NOT swivel. We didn't want to force it and take a chance of ripping the leather. Some of the finish still remains. The swivel is marked "US", there are no other visible markings. This socket bayonet, scabbard and leather frog will be a great addition to your Trapdoor rifle, or a bayonet collection in general.
