Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

got this bayonet in trade

Found out a little info on it

it's a turkish yatagan style sword bayonet for the peabody breech loading musket

grips were pressed leather and must have deteriorated away

I had one like that one time. I don't know if the grips were original but they were rimmed and made out of brass and the grips looked as old as the bayonet.

are there any markings on it at all ? pommel , blade , hilt , quillon ?
could you show closeup of the release/lock ?

oak or walnut scales would display well for fun , you could make those
