Antique M1873 Marked “US” with dot Socket Bayonet 45-70 US ARMY. 18" blade, 3" socket, about 1 3/16" shank. I believe it is a M1873. penny does not pass through socket. Stamped US with a dot above, I believe a hardness test mark from a punch? Some whitish oxidation, some metal pitting. A nice find.
