yes, they do get kind of addictive, they feel nice in my hands, feels more like a sword than a bayonet.

Hello Gentlemen!
Here are the pictures of my Chassepot Model 1866 bayonet (St. Etienne, march 1874). I hope you enjoy.

No not an exact date , I would guess early to mid 1800's . There is some silver inlay on the blade and an old repair to the Ricasso .
I'll see if i can get some clear shots of inlay and repair etc . Glad you like it .
Cheers Chris

Here are a few more detail shots . Also of interest is the handle , the pommel is winged with two flared sections would seem to wrap around the wrist when swung low , maybe for use on horseback .
