Title Rolling block Mexican Remington bayonet, 1899 model
Nationality American
Period c 1899
Sold

This was a contract piece for the Mexican government and also is the same bayonet used by the US Navy on the Lee bolt action. The Mexican rifle was a 7mm rolling block action single shot weapon.

The blade length is 21cm. It has fruitwood grips with a little age bruising and cracking, especially to the front plate. The stitching on the leather belt loop is still intact. There is very little trace of any finish on the scabbard, which also has some scarring from old age rust spots scattered throughout.

I would describe this as a class two condition piece. However, its relative rarity makes up for the condition.

I received the silver Verdienstkreuz this morning. Your swiftness and dedication was very much appreciated and, though the envelope arrived with a Post Office sticker saying it had been found open or damaged, the cross was unharmed and looks beautiful. Thanks for your time.
