    Description

    Up for sale we have a nice British Pattern 1859 Type II Naval Cutlass Bayonet for use on the 1858 Enfield .577 Naval Rifle.
    This cutlass bayonet was made by the German company J. E. Bleckmann of Solingen. J. E. Bleckmann traded under this name from 1808 until 1880 and were known to have received contracts for the supply of edged weapons to both sides in the American Civil War. The lack of British War Department or Naval ownership stamps suggests that this cutlass bayonet was made for export to America or for private purchase by a volunteer unit or merchant vessel.
    The blade is in great condition and still very bight. The scabbard has loss to the outer black covering on leather but fir and hold bayonet well. The forte is stamped with Bleckmann’s drawn bow and BM trade mark and a crowned Solingen inspection stamp.  Found this down south many years ago in an antique shop. Have had this for years and now time for a new home. If you need more information just ask.
