Mexican war (?) bayonet
Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2023 12:43 pm
Folks, many years ago, I acquired this bayonet from a friend of mine. I never knew where to look for some “ history “ on it, so I thought I might try here.
The overall length of handle and blade is 20.5” long.
On one side of the blade directly in front of the handle has the word “ARTILLERIA” in an arc. The next line says “F “ (then some sort of a marking I can’t decipher) and then “NACIONAL”. Then below that is “TOLEDO”
The other side of the blade has some (what appears to be) serial numbers, but I can’t make them all out.
Any information would be appreciated. Thank you!
