1873 trapdoor scabbard value

[RickM]

can anyone tell me what the value of 1873 Springfield trapdoor bayonet would be. It is in excellent condition it also has a US marked hanger which is also in excellent condition. it is not a reproduction

$100-$200 depending on what you mean by hanger - just the hanger? No scabbard?

I meant scabbard and hanger.... posting from cell. Sorry

Hopefully that helps. I am trying to value a scabbard. Great condition no dents mild patina with very light surface rust hanger is excellent leather and stitching intact

I'm NO price expert on bayonets, but I'd value the total assembly as 60%blade/40%scabbard, unless the scabbard were rare, then that could flip-flop, or even more.

The variation is in the scabbards and frogs, as the blades are pretty much all the same. Minty assemblies can go $275 in my area - haven't seen a set for $100 in a very long time. I'd browse eBay and Gunbroker, too.

Thanks.... i just posted them the other day trying to find a krag stock. Both scabbards are excellent and one is unit marked

Have a trapdoor rifle and the bayonet has no scabbard, but then it's a rod bayonet! LOL
