    British Pattern 1853 socket bayonet with scabbard by F. Preston, Manchester.
    A style of bayonet commonly used during the Civil War.
    The overall length is 20-1/2 inches and the blade is 17-1/4 inches.
    Preston reportedly made 15,000 of these bayonets, making them a relatively unusual variation of an often encountered bayonet that was used by both sides during the Civil War.
    The socket is about 2-7/8" long and about 0.79" inside diameter.
    The blade has a crown over  "B" and "59" just forward of Preston's mark. The rear face of the socket has what looks like a "WG" stamp and some other marks, as shown.
    The scabbard is in good condition. The seam is good, not failing.  One of the three brass pins that retains the tip looks to have been pushed below the surface of tip, making the tip a bit wobbly.
    The back of the throat  is stamped with what looks like "OT" "2" and"131" and the leather is marked "B" "21"just beneath the throat. One the reverse, just below the brass piece is a broad arrow and "WB".  Look closely at the next to last photo.
    The scabbard feels smooth and has no obvious dents.  It's not apparent that it has a bit of a bend until you rotate it in-hand.
    There's a number on the scabbard ring and also in the groove on the top of the handle.
