I have a reproduction Pedersoli conversion model 1816 musket. I was wondering if anyone knows a good place to buy a nice reproduction model 1816 bayonet?
It should be of good quality as this one is made in Italy. I've seen some that are made in India that aren't even straight! I usually pick up originals from $100 to $150 to go with my 1816 muskets.
Back in the late 1970's I ordered an original M1816 bayonet from DGW-back then, they still had some originals. Anyway, when it came in it had dried out "Cosmoline" (or whatever they used back then) on the blade and socket.
When I cleaned off that dried up preservative, I had a bayonet in literally "Mint" condition. Unfortunately, I traded it along with an original musket years ago.
