I was helping with tornado cleanup/demo with my church in Moore today (still a LOT of work to be done) and found this bayonet. The homeowner was not there to ask. I cannot figure out what it is, but I figure someone here will know
[Hopefully these pix aren't too big...]
It's very rusty, so some details are lost. It's 20" long, including the "muzzle." It's not a blade-style, but has a squarish or star cross section from the four fullers (sometimes erroneously called "blood grooves").
I didn't get a picture, but if you notice, it doesn't taper to a point, but a more like a slotted screwdriver does. (Perhaps not original.)
It's outer diameter is only 1", which narrows down the calibers it could be for.
You can see it above and here: there is a grooved spring release at the mortise.
It has some Arabic numerals; seems to be "1119." The spring release is on the right.
It'll buff out. ~Joe dirt
