The French Model 1866 Chassepot Bayonet was designed for France's then-cutting-edge Fusil Modele 1866. The rifle was a breech loaded bolt-action which utilized a Dreyse-inspired pinfire system, and could propel its 11mm bullet at 1,345 FPS - creating devestating ballistics far superior to large caliber Minie balls.

The Yatagan (Yataghan, Ataghan or Varsoc) was a hugely influential Ottoman sword design. The double bend added strength, rigidity, and the slashing ability of a sabre (saber) while allowing the sword tip to still thrust. This design soon became adopted in bayonets where it was utilized by the Dutch, French, Americans, British, and numerous other countries throughout the world.

The model 1866 bayonet was famously utilized in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, but continued to see use through World War I and beyond. This bayonet was used on both Chassepot and the later 1874 Gras rifles.

This is a largely unmarked bayonet. There is no factory marking or date, typical of both very early examples and commercial models. A faint serial number, Z 458, is visible on the iron crossguard. There is a star over an 'S' mark on the ricasso. Condition of the blade is very good with some small nicks typical of use.

This bayonet is antique surplus, and may feature minor wear, light rust, dust and minor imperfections, none of which take away from it's beauty. As-Is. No returns or refunds. Call 205-533-8595 with questions.
