I have a bayonet with the date stamped 1942 US. The barrel hole is 7/8 in. Can you tell me the gun this bayonts fits. The barrel hole for the 1903 and Garand bayonet is apx. 5/8 in. Someone please tell me what rifle or shot gun this fits. It has OL. stamped on one side and U. C. U. flammng bomb S. on the other.

    Looking for value of a triangle shape blade bayonet about 20 inches long overall and looks to fit over a round barrel. Any ideas? Thanks !)

    How is it that so many bayonets have come to be missing their locking mechanism, especially those with the press stud/leaf spring type (Mauser, Krag, etc.)? I see no way to get this piece out, and it is a mystery to me how it was even manufactured. If one had the spring and press stud, could one repair such pieces? If so, how do you get to the innards to do so? Thanks, Jon

    Civil War muskets and Trapdoor Springfields had triangular bayonets with offsetmounting sockets that went over the barrel.
