1795-Pattern Bayonet From the Collection of Don Troiani 

 

Exceptional early American bayonet, dating to the 1795 pattern era, representing the formative years of United States military arms following the American Revolution. This bayonet predates the War of 1812 and reflects early Federal efforts to equip and standardize infantry weapons during the nation’s infancy.

 

The blade bears a clear “D C” maker’s mark, struck near the base. The blade form, socket configuration, and locking cutout are all correct for early flintlock musket bayonets of this period.

 

This is one of the variations that were intended for the US model 1795 military musket. During this time our country it was a simple but effective as is hand forged bayonet. The bayonet measures 18 inches in overall size with the full-length 15 inch unfullered blade and a 2-3/4th inch socket cut with a “Z” three step friction fit mortise cut for a top lug, made without a bridge.

 

This fine example originates from the collections of George Willhauk, the Patrick J. Leonard Jr. collection, and the Don Troiani collection, one of the most respected authorities on early American military arms and uniforms.

 

A superb triangular U.S. military bayonet, ideal for an advanced collection.
