Brown Bess Socket Bayonet

 The Brown Bess Bayonet was the standard British infantry bayonet issued from 1722 through 1840 for use with the Brown Bess musket. Famous British Battles include Waterloo, Belgium 1815 and Battle of Badajoz 1812 Portugal.

Socket Bayonets were made with a socket that fitted over the barrel of the musket and had a slot which slid past the fore sight. The blade was offset to one side allowing the soldier to load the musket. Our high quality Brown Bess Bayonet is a replica of the Brown Bess Bayonet that was also used during the American Revolutionary War.
