Item Description: Translate description

Union infantrymen in the Civil War, colloquially nicknamed ”Billy Yank”, were largely armed with the superb Springfield rifle musket. The Springfield was renowned for its accuracy and range, and mounted a well made socket bayonet for close quarters combat. Undoubtedly the most famous bayonet charge of the “War Between the States” was executed by Colonel Joshua Chamberlain and his 20th Maine, in what became known as “Chamberlain’s Charge” down Little Round Top on the second day of the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. This US Union Army Civil War M-1861 M-1863 Springfield M-1855 Socket Bayonet is in Very Good Condition, with some light overall cleaning, scratching, pitting, spot patina, and age wear evident. Most interestingly, it features an 18" bright trefoil blade that was factory left “in the white”, sports a fully functional locking ring at the mortise, and is "US" stamped with serifs at the ricasso, above the serifed inspector’s initial “S”. It’s complete with the original US Union Army Civil War Leather Scabbard in Good Condition, with heavy drying, surface cracking, and surface flaking to the body, and with moderate overall age wear evident. Most interestingly, it bears an integral “roughout” leather frog riveted at top, exhibits a brass reinforced end tip with a “ball” finial at bottom, and the set is a fine example of a rare, original US Union Army Civil War M-1861 M-1863 Springfield M-1855 Socket Bayonet. Lastly, this bayonet and scabbard come directly from the personal collection of renowned US military firearms author and historian Bruce Canfield, and a signed letter of authenticity stating as such will accompany this set.
