Description from HiBid
A contract-made imported Spencer M1863 Rifle bayonet, made by a well known German Sword marker. More importantly, not only does the bayonet still retain the original 24 inch blade length. This fine example is marked by the maker on the blade ricasso: S & K Schnitzler & Kirschbaum of Solingen, Germany, was first founded in the Legendary "City of Blades" in 1808. Originally it had several subsidiaries to allow the different families to trade independently if desired, but in 1851 the company was consolidated after the sudden death of one of the owners.
