US Rifle Socket Bayonet from 1873

Item Description

Origin: Indian Wars and Sioux/Lakota Skirmishes

Dimensions: 2 1/2x1x21"

Conditions: Bayonet has Rusting and is Weathered

Additional Information: This Model 1873 bayonet isn’t just standard issue—it’s steel forged for the front lines of American expansion. Designed for the Springfield Trapdoor Rifle, it was the edge carried by soldiers who pushed into the unknown and held the line when it mattered most.

From the dust and danger of the American Indian Wars to the clash of the Spanish–American War, this blade saw the moments where history turned. It’s not just a weapon—it’s a hardened relic of conflict, survival, and the raw reality of war on two defining fronts of the 19th century.
