Bayonet

This belonged to my GGrandfather John M Wells 141th PVI Co A.

Great bayonet. Is that for a Springfield 1816 musket?

Very nice condition

A nice looking bayonet, it looks to be in great shape.

Great bayonet. Is that for a Springfield 1816 musket?

No idea. John gave it to my dad and I of course got it from him.

The mountings look like those for a 1816. If the blade is a little broader at the back, as opposed to triangular it is the 1816. The musket was converted to percussion and used through the Civil War.
