I don't think this is a Civil War bayonet but I don't know for sure. Could be for the Trapdoor rifle. Any help appreciated. The only markings I can find are US. Thanks

Your guess is accurate

looks like a 1855, but other measurements needed to determine proper. Lots of options to search through.

I only gave $40 for it so I think I did OK. Makes a great display piece.

You definitely did.
