Model 1855 .58 Caliber Socket Bayonet — “IC” Inspected & Condemned 

 

Original U.S. Model 1855 .58 caliber socket bayonet, manufactured for use with the Model 1855 rifled musket and later compatible .58 caliber arms. This example bears the “IC” inspection mark, indicating it was inspected and condemned during the ordnance acceptance process—an important and collectible classification reflecting Civil War–era quality control and wartime pressures on production.

 

The bayonet features a triangular blade, socket mounting, and locking ring, with period wear consistent with age and service. Condemned examples such as this were often rejected for frontline issue yet frequently saw secondary use, storage, or Confederate capture and reuse, making them especially appealing to advanced collectors.
