WWI US Krag Bayonet - This is a WWI US Krag bayonet. One of the most interesting aspects of this bayonet is the hanger for the scabbard. consisting of a large swivel base. This mechanism allowed the bayonet to be affixed to the utility belt and gave it the capacity to turn angles so the blade could be extracted with more ease.

A wire frame could be moved forward and backwards to attach and detach the bayonet to the belt. This is a similar mechanism as the one employed in the US Army today.

The scabbard itself is built of metal. Other models sported a wooden scabbard. The handles of the bayonet were made of wood and were secured via the use of two rivets.
