My Latest Imperial Bayonet

[James N]

These three blades are my latest flea-market finds representing three different conflicts: an American-made catling or Civil War-era amputation knife; an unmarked dress bayonet from the TR era; and the 1904-dated Imperial. The latter is unfortunately missing its (likely) leather scabbard and is lightly rusted overall. It still presents a satisfactory appearance with no cracks or chips out of the wooden grip panels or sharpening to the blade; the bayonet catch still works too! It's maker marked C. G. Hanel and Suhl.
