Description:
Got a Springfield Model 1888 Ramrod Bayonet Rifle. The rifle is ORIGINAL

The following information on this particular antique is to give as much information on this piece of history............................The serial number on this rifle is 557105, which places its date of manufacture to late 1892, which is the Second to last year of Springfield Armory trapdoor production. Springfield Armory produced only 4,760 Model 1888 Ramrod Bayonet Rifles in 1892 out of a total of only 16901 of Model 1888 Rifles produced, all between 1890 and 1893. The Model 1888 Rifle was the last of the trapdoor rifles manufactured. The Rod Bayonet is an interesting, and intermittent, design that appears on American military firearms for approximately 70 years in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The first rod bayonet arm issued to the U.S. military was the U.S. Model 1833 Hall Carbine, a flintlock ignition weapon, and used a relatively thin triangular blade design. The design did not take hold and the triangular socket bayonet became standard for much of the 19th century to include use in the Mexican War and the Civil War...................
