paulb104 Posted November 2, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 2, 2018 If you haven't seen my other posts yet, I'm helping a very senior friend with his collection of stuff, identifying and selling things. He has four old bayonets and this is the least identifiable. All it has on it by way of identification is a C stamped into the base of the blade.

Bob Hudson Posted November 2, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 2, 2018 That is a so-called "Yataghan" bayonet referring to that unique curve. I think the most common such blade is the French Chassepot you posted in another thread, but even the British had one. A lot of 19th century, early 20th century bayonets had many variations and my go-to place for figuring what is what is http://worldbayonets.com/Bayonet_Identification_Guide/bayonet_identification_guide.html Using their measurment info (not just for the blade length) can really help pin down what you have.

Ron_brock Posted November 21, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 21, 2018 I believe it is Turkish Peabody M1874. Would need some measurements to be certain, but looks like a Peabody. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolo Posted October 30, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 30, 2021 for some reason when I try to edit it wont allow the correct spelling? of the name of the factory that made the bayonet. I originally have this bayonet posted on COLLECTOR'S WEEKLY https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/149066-yataghan-sword-bayonets-collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
