- Lot Description
12" spear point blade with 5" false edge. Obverse ricasso marked in three lines: U.S.N. / DR / 1864, obverse ricasso marked with a two-line arched legend AMES MFG Co / CHICOPEE. over MASS. Pommel cap with script DR inspection cartouche. Finger grooved walnut grip. Brass mounted leather scabbard. Designed by Admiral Dahlgren as an alternative bayonet for the Whitney M1861 Naval rifle (often erroneously called the "Plymouth Rifle"), the real intention was to put a fighting knife in the hands of US seamen. A really fine example of this hefty and impressive Civil War period US Navy knife-bayonet.
Very fine to excellent. Blade is bright and well marked, brass with an old cleaning that is toning down to a medium golden luster. Crisp markings, grip with scattered bumps and dings. Scabbard fine, with the lower mount missing a single pin on the reverse.Condition
