U.S. Navy Model 1861 "Dahlgren" Bayonet |
This is the first true US adopted knife bayonet and was designed by its namesake, "Admiral
John A. Dahlgren." It was supposedly used on the US Model 1861 Plymouth-Whitneyville Navy Rifled Musket,
but it is my understanding that they rarely ever fit properly or could not be interchanged (I have not proven
this either way). These are massive and weigh over two pounds. |
