This is a sword bayonet manufactured from the period of 1856 to about 1878. Typically British in design in that it has pressed-leather grips, "cock's-comb" upper finial, will lower "button" finial.
These are attached by fitting the "muzzle-ring" over the barrel muzzle, and fastening the pommel to a bar (lug) on the barrel or lug on a steel band. This example attaches to a bar on the barrel. The main difference between the P1858 and the P1856 is: the 1856 attaches to a bar (or lug) on the barrel and has a muzzle ring in which the inner diameter is in line with the tang of the blade; the 1858 attaches to a bar on a barrel-band and has a muzzle ring in which the inner diameter stands off about 1/8" above the blade tang (about 1/4" above the blade back edge).
Metal furniture is iron (steel); latch is of external spring-steel type with integral push-button; grips are of black pressed-leather.
These were designed to fit the .577" caliber Enfield "2-band" Rifled Infantry Short-Muskets of the period.
Blade length is about 22-1/2" and muzzle ring diameter is ~7/8" (internal).
Scabbards were black leather with sheet steel throat and drag (scabbard not included with this offering).
These bayonets were popular with North and South during the American Civil War.
Overall good condition with scattered light pitting and slightly shrunken leather grips. No scabbard.
