Springfield 1898 krag value series#
References: Bayonets from Janzen’s Notebook For Collectors Only series books covering for the Krag and 1903 Springfield. For example, the Winchester 07 police rifle used the Krag bayonet. I guess it could have happened when the bayonet was removed from US inventory, before being turned over for use by an outside organization. Why the typical marking were ground off (If that’s what happened)? I don’t know. The nine could be what remains of a 1899 stamp. The year date on a Krag bayonet is not the model year, but the year of manufacture. Also, I believe that even the early M1905s had 16” blades, and this bayonet blade looks shorter to me.
The late manufacture Krag bayonets had the rounded rivets this shows, while the 1st type M1905 had flush rivets.
It is appreciated that you enjoy this item Knivesnsuch. Hey I appreciate the post and information YardSaleDave. Take a look through Franks Knife Knotes and see if there is any discussion on the early 05's. My best guess here, considering the swivel scabbard and unique guard, would be that you have a 1st type 1905. It appears in the photos that the Ricasso has been ground down somewhat and may be missing pertinent identification marks. Thank you so much kerry10456 for showin some love for the bayonet! Have a great night my friend! : )
