REVOLUTIONARY WAR BAYONETS
Combine painting-acrylic and mixed media with a mounted pair of American socket bayonets (circa 1776).
30 x 24 in. (76.2 x 61 cm)
American socket bayonets friction fit over the barrel of the rifle. Many of them fit civilian hunting guns which were repurposed for military use. Hand forged during the period of the Revolutionary War, blacksmiths risked "committing treason” during the time they were making them. A rare find, these bayonets are of museum quality. These weapons were integral in the history of our country’s founding (Revolutionary War).
