Tredegar Confederate Bayonet: Wow! You want a rare Confederate bayonet, here it is. Made at the Tredigar Iron Works, Richmond. Has the three sided unfullered and unstopped blade, 21" long OA. Great solid dug condition, just right cleaning and no active rust.. Only problem is at socket (see picture), has about 1" of lip missing on one side where it twists on barrel. No locking ring. This piece could be displayed with pride regardless, because it looks so good. Besides, where are you going to get a perfect one at this price...if at all!

Sutlers Token? Maybe so, maybe not. Has reeded edge so it was more than a tool tag or something.

It was found in a Union Camp near Beaufort, SC. Has top section missing, as per photo.
