Offered here is an original Model 1873 triangular socket bayonet for the Springfield Trapdoor rifle, paired with its original metal scabbard and a Navy-marked leather frog. This example comes from the esteemed Canfield Collection and is representative of the period of the Indian Wars, when the Springfield Trapdoor rifle was the primary service longarm of the U.S. military. The bayonet is unmarked, as is correct for many M1873 examples produced early in the Trapdoor era, featuring the distinctive triangular blade with crisp edges and a clean, full-length profile. The locking ring at the socket is intact and functional. The scabbard is the early second pattern with a blued finish and brass tip, showing honest wear from use but remaining structurally sound. This is an amazing piece of history and will be a perfect addition to any collection.
