Springfield M1795 Bayonet
I have a pedersoli reproduction of the 1795 springfield. I would like to also get a bayonet for it (preferably a reproduction.) I can not find one specific to this gun. I was thinking the 1816 bayonet or a charleville bayonet might fit. Does anyone know of have suggestions?

I have a similar looking pig sticker somewhere down in the basement. I will try to find it and see how similar it is. I bought it at a gun auction years ago. I don't know why I wanted it, but I own it if I can find it.
Found it, and it is not even close. Last edited by lamarw; March 28, 2018 at 08:37 PM. |

Why pay that much for an incorrect reproduction when you can get an original for around the same money? https://www.regtqm.com/product-p/bay-676.htm

Preferably a reproduction would be a good idea. Gunderson Militaria wants $395 for a real one, in "very good" condition. Their "fair" condition is heavily pitted.
According to worldbayonets.com, you're looking for a bayonet that was made at the time by local blacksmiths vs the SA factory. And the first bayonets made there was the Pattern 1807. A clone of the French M1763 musket. So if that Dixie Gunworks repro is worth $207 to you, it'll do. Nobody will be checking anyway. Just be really friggin' careful when you play with it. Lotta Regulars and Reservists get hurt on parades with bayonets.
