This is a original Prussian Model 1809 Socket Bayonet, a good survivor. It fits the Potsdam Musket. Some of these were purchased by the union and used in the Civil War. Total length is approx. 22 5/8\" and socket length is 3\" with approx. 7/8\" dia. opening. The triangular blade is 7/8\" widest and 19 1/4\" long.

There are a lot of original markings on the bayonet.

From worldbayonets.com :

\"These are frequently encountered in the USA, owing to the M1809 musket’s use during the U.S. Civil War. The bayonet is unusual in that it lacks the mortise commonly found on socket bayonets. The mounting system was developed by Austria 1798–1799, incorporating a spring on the musket which engages the notch on the bayonet’s socket collar. The unfullered triangular blade and longer 3.00 in. (76 mm.) socket distinguishes the M1809 from the later M1839 bayonet.\"
