This is a nice original socket bayonet for the .45-70 Springfield trapdoor rifle. This bayonet is made after the Civil War for the trapdoor breech Springfield rifle. It looks almost identical to the Civil War Springfield bayonet except the diameter of the socket is smaller because of the smaller caliber of the rifle barrel. This one has a full-length blade and a nice and is the version with the "US" stamp at the base underneath some racking numbers. This was made for a state contract instead of the US Government. The socket has the lockring and screw present. It is accompanied by the metallic body scabbard that has the brass "NGP" rosette present at the top of the scabbard. These letters stand for National Guard of the state of Pennsylvania. This is the version that has the leather belt loop instead of the belt hook. This is an attractive Indian Wars era Springfield trapdoor rifle bayonet from Pennsylvania. Item #: B6221 Shipping Weight:
