M1892 Krag Rifle Bayonet, 11.5 in. blade and 16 in. overall, with wooden grip. Marked ‘U.S.’ on the ricasso and dated on the opposite side ‘1899’. Notable oxidation to the blade. Housed within a brown leather scabbard. This scarce U.S. Krag bayonet was used after the adoption of the .30-40 Krag in 1892, when the U.S. Army began to catch up with foreign powers in the use of small caliber magazine-fed arms using smokeless powder.
