this style of bayonet looks very impressive on display and looks good on the wall since they look more like swords than a bayonet.
I have the French M1842 with matching numbers scabbard, the Turkish M1874 with original leather checkered grips, the blade is the thickest heaviest of the Yagaghan bayonets
also a rare Brazilian Modelo 1904 Police Yataghan with matching leather scabbard, this was the last of the Yataghan style bayonets made.
and the French Chassepot Model 1866
the Turk M1874 is my favorite sword bayo in my collection, made by the Providence Tool Company, Rhode Island, USA

Yep, an 1842/59, or what some call an 1842 modified. The 1842/59 has an internal coil spring on the release where the original 1842 had a leaf spring. Most of the markings are inspector marks. The markings on the spine of the blade will tell you where it was made, either Mutzig or Chattellerault. Thanks for sharing!

Hello Battle gear and Jim P,
Thanks for the replies, its nice to know exactly what it is at last. Unfortunately I cant see any markings on the spine of the blade, the steel scabbard seems to have rubbed them away! So the maker will have to remain a mystery. Great information.
Thanks again. Rich.
