Socket Bayonet For Austrian Lorenze Rifle
SOLD
Item: Excavated Socket Bayonet For Austrian Lorenze Rifle
Construction: Iron
Approximate size: 21.5 inches
Condition: Fair, excavated. Much of the surface iron "build-up" that occurs over time while in the elements, has flaked away leaving a remarkably sturdy relic. While most of the four edges are present, there are areas missing due to ground action. The locking ring is no longer present and the tip is slightly bent. At some point in time it was clear coated but nearly all of it has flaked away. There are no repairs.
Recovered: Garysburg, NC
Comments: This relic was acquired directly from the digger, Robert Braswell, Jr. of Gaston, NC, who recovered many fine relics from both North Carolina and Virginia over several decades. Learn more about Robert and his relic detecting by clicking on his name above. An example of these distinctive four edged Austrian bayonets and can be found in the "Weapons and Equipment" section of Howard Crouch's reference book, "Civil War Artifacts" on page 77, item #4. The bayonet offered in this listing will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War weapon or general relic collection
