Scarce and Desirable U.S. Model 1900 Krag Bowie Bayonet with Scabbard

Produced (and dated) for trial in 1900, as a replacement for the standard bayonet which could pull double duty as a brush knife. Measuring 13 1/2 inches overall, the 9 inch blade has a deep back clip and a 2 1/2 inch sharpened edge on the spine, with "US" on the right ricasso and "1900" on the left. All of the metal is bright, with a pair of smooth wood scales completing the grip. With a full metal sheath, which features the distinct ball tip and 100 degree belt swivel. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

ConditionFine overall. The very fine blade shows mild spotting, with a mixed brown and gray color on the hilt and light dings concentrated on the pommel. The grip panels show some minor dings, with a small chip absent from the bottom rear corner of the right panel. The sheath shows 70% of the original blue finish, with some patches of pitting that have been cleaned bright, minor spotting, and mixed gray/brown patina on the belt loop, and a streaking of old dried varnish.
