Along with the knife I posted earlier I inherited a pair of socket bayonets that were reputedly Civil War issue. Were these British-made for the Enfield? I photographed all markings including the easier to find ones on the ricasso. One is bluish steel and the other is standard silver-colored steel. They are different in length and circumference, the blue one 21 inches long, the other 22.5 inches. They were both found in Lancaster County, PA. I tried to figure this out myself but the subject is very complicated. I would not like to get stuck with either of these. Thanks again, rt
