This French model 1866 yataghan bayonet was made at the Tulle armoury in 1872.

The 575mm yataghan blade is in good condition with a speckled patina. The blade was service sharpened and there is a slight kink at the tip. The spine engraving is worn but readable, showing the arsenal name and date of manufacture; Tulle, July 1872. The ricasso bears a French inspection poincon.

The iron cross-piece is stamped with the serial number of the Chassepot rifled musket that the bayonet was issued with. The hooked quillon bears inspection poincon.

The front of the cross-piece bears additional stamps consisting of numerals and symbols.

The brass hilt is in good condition and the press stud and external spring mechanism work perfectly.

This is a scarce Tulle-made M1866 Chassepot musket bayonet.
