Spanish Andalucian style socket bayonet n/s.

The blade is leaf shaped with a long false edge. This Andalucian style blade is commonly found on plug bayonets. It is much more scarce when found as a socket bayonet. The iron socket has a three step mortise slot with decorative encircling lines on each end and in the middle. There is an interesting period repair of the shank where it attaches to the blade. The very tip of the blade has been broken off. Moderate pitting overall.
