This is a US Model 1892 Springfield 30/40 Krag Jorgensen 1899 bayonet without scabbard. It is in good condition, has normal wear and patina from age and use. It has US and 1899 stamped into the blade, no other markings I can see. Has not been altered in any way. This Bayonet was made to fit the Springfield Model 1892–99 Krag–Jørgensen rifle. This is a Norwegian-designed bolt-action rifle that was adopted in 1892 as the standard United States Army military longarm, chambered in U.S. caliber .30-40 Krag. All versions and variants were manufactured under license by the Springfield Armory between 1892 and 1903 and famously served as the longarm during the Spanish–American War. Although Krags were popular, unique and efficient, the side loading gate mechanism was slow and cumbersome to reload in combat compared to the clip loaded Spanish Mausers the Krag was up against. Thus, the U.S. Krag was replaced beginning in 1903.
