An exceptionally scarce bayonet designed for the M1847 Sappers and Miners Musketoon, offered here in authentic attic-found condition. This is a highly desirable example, seldom encountered on the market due to its limited original production and specialized military use.

The bayonet features brass hilt components that have developed a rich, undisturbed dark patina over time, adding to its visual appeal and confirming its untouched nature. The steel blade remains clearly marked with the Ames manufacturing stamp, along with US and date on the opposite side.

Condition is consistent with long-term storage, showing honest age, surface wear, and natural oxidation, but no signs of modern cleaning or restoration. This untouched state is especially prized among advanced collectors.

A rare opportunity to acquire an original Civil War-era edged weapon associated with U.S. Army engineering troops—an increasingly difficult piece to find in any condition, particularly one retaining such strong markings and patina.
