EARLY
SOCKET BAYONET with INTACT LEATHER BELT SHEATH
FOR AN 1873 "TRAPDOOR" RIFLE 45/70.
THAT BEING SAID; A RARE FIND IN THIS EXCELLENT
CONDITION!
THE LEATHER LOOP IS TIGHT

THE PROVENANCE OF THIS PIECE IS WHEN A YOUNG MAN
STAYING WITH MY AUNT
FOR THE SUMMER IN ATHENS,GEORGIA
(WAY BACK IN THE 1950'S;-}
I WANDERED INTO A LOCAL PAWN SHOP & PURCHASED THIS BAYONET ALONG WITH
A "FANCY KNIGHT'S SWORD" (ON REARING HORSEBACK) WITHIN IT'S METAL SCABBARD
(I LOVED PLAYING KNIGHTS ;-)
STILL HAVE THAT CLAN (with a Kay") CEREMONIAL PIECE IN MY COLLECTION, if U R interested...
BTW; NO, I'M, NOT A BELIEVER IN THAT PATHETIC IDEOLOGY.
THIS WILL BE SENT PRIORITY WITH FULL INSURANCE.
