The blade on this bayonet is nice and bright and in excellent condition. The sawback teeth are also in good shape with the blade forming into a good tip. The maker on the ricasso reads R.STOCK & CO and on the spine of the blade it is proof stamped and also has a W under a crown and dated 16 .

The hilt and crossguard are in good condition with the rifle retaining button in good working order with a proof stamp to the under side of the crossguard. One side of the wooden grips and the flash guard do show some light impact damage, this is shown in the photos.

The scabbard is undented, nice and straight with the lower ball having the usual proof stamp. There is the number 75 stamped just below the throat of the scabbard either side of the throat screw.

The bayonet comes with the correct period leather frog which is in good condition apart from it having the section missing above the frog stud.
