    I noticed not too many "hits" on your posting. Perhaps if you edited the title of the post, dropped the "up", and put in what I have highlighted in blue above...it will attract those of us who have an interest/expertise in that area. Just a thought. Joe

    It should be A standard 58 cal bayonet 1863 colt is the same as a 1863 Springfield.The Colt is just A contract gun.It should be 21 inchs long7/8 across the lug side and have A locking ring on the lug. Lug -Part that fits over the barrell.Most have US stamped in the base of the blade part of it.E-bay item 290296881942 is what you want good luck
