    Bayonet for Winchester 1895 Lever Action Musket

    Wondering about the price range for a Winchester 1895 Lever Action Musket Bayonet and scabbard. The bayonet is in fair shape but the blade has been sharpened, the scabbard is in real nice shape. Thanks

      I think he means these:

        are they the same as the Win '73 muskets' bayonets? look similar to my untrained eyes.

          Nope, the 1873 is rather distinctive:

              I believe that is a bayonet for the M1895 Lee Navy Rifle manufactured by Winchester instead of a M1895 Winchester.

                The only Model 1895 Musket I've ever seen was in 7.62x54mmR from the batch manufactured for the Zarist Russia. I always wondered what the accessories, including the bayonette looked like.

                    The only real difference between the Lee Navy bayonet and the Model 1895 bayonet is the inside diameter of the muzzle ring. The Lee has an inside diameter of about 0.515 inch while the Model 1895 is about 0.625 inch.

                      Last one I saw sell went for $400 your mileage may vary but they are a desirable bayonet.

                        I had read, can't remember now were, that the bayonets issued for the 95 Winchester was the short one like the Win Lee Navy as 1st shown and the longer ones were for the Russia contract. Kind of makes sense that the US 95 muskets would be equiped with the same Winchester mfg bayonet as issued with the Win Navy Lee. I know the 95 muskets used the same Win mfg sling and sling set up as the Win Navy. Just sayin, don't really know, Ray

                          I would be interested in your bayonet if it is indeed for the 1895 Musket, rather than the Lee. I have a U.S. marked 1895 musket that is in pretty worn condition, that needs a worn bayonet to go with it. . PM sent.

                          Thanks
