US Model 1892 Krag Bayonet & Scabbard Dated 1903 - Early ÒBanana WarsÓ Example

This is a United States Model 1892 Krag bayonet and scabbard dated 1903 - an early "Banana Wars" example. It is marked 1903 and US on opposite sides of the ricasso. The bayonet comes with a scabbard that has a swiveling belt loop. The blade is in excellent condition, having just had the cosmolene removed. The handle and scabbard are untouched, and would clean up nicely.

Circa 1903.
