Click on an image to enlarge

This is a scarce original saber bayonet for the Mississippi rifle model 1841. It has a mottled gray color on the blade that has a pleasing look. It is full-length at 22-1/2 inches. At the base of the blade, it has the small "PP" letters from the armory. Harpers Ferry made bayonet lugs with matching bayonets for some of the Mississippi rifle that they altered in the Harpers Ferry armory between 1855 and 1857. It is reported that 10,286 bayonets of this type were produced. You can see the outline where the brass pin that holds the handle onto the blade is on the crossguard. The retainer spring is present on the handle with a nice color and is still functional after all of the years in the attic. It is accompanied by a very nice original leather and brass scabbard. The leather is solid as a rock and the brass has a beautiful look. As you can see, the bayonet almost seats all the way down int he scabbard but not quite. This is a tough bayonet to find for one of the most popular weapons of the Civil War era.
