I restore a 1800’s civil war era bayonet that's all rusted, broken, and bent. With the right restoration tools this Civil war era bayonet went from being lost to restored.

My husband, a civil war living historian and re-enactor has an original enfield rifle with bayonet and surprisingly in good condition. Not restored. This has been an interesting restoration. Thank you.

My goodness. That was the screw from hell! Little sucker must’ve been ridiculously difficult to dislodge! Wonderful restoration as always-I love the look of this bayonet.

@michaelsewell3706 2 года назад

Those bayonets designed to fit muzzleloaders were never straight, they always had a slight curve so that when you were loading the rifle or Musket your hand would have clearance , if they were straight you would stab your hand while ramming the ball down the barrel.

@sarwatihsan5165 2 года назад

The shape is interesting; I always thought bayonets were flat blades (or spherical/square pointy cones). Though, this makes sense as it would be sturdier and sharper throughout. Nice work!

@tncavscout Год назад

For a time, back then, bayonets were specifically designed to make the wound more difficult to heal or for doctors to sew up. A simple blade is easier to heal or sew up than a triangle or other odd shape. Thus insuring one less soldier on the battlefield!

@pfcparis Год назад

Additionally, if the soldier was only wounded, it took multiple soldiers off the battlefield to care for him. If the soldier dies, he was left until the battle was over.

@zipshed Год назад

And that type, because of its shape was called a crucifix bayonet.

@henryb9720 Год назад

Guessing by the size of the socket and your choice of staining the entire bayonet with the black ink, it’s for an 1873 or later US Model trapdoor rifle. These bayonets were nearly identical to the civil war variant except for the exact dimensions for fitting over the muzzle of post ACW long guns. I wouldn’t prescribe to the idea that it’s a historical loss due to ‘destroying the patina’, as that layer and depth of corrosion already destroyed what markings and history it has beyond location discovered and fitting it to a certain weapon/display at this point. Personally, I agree with TIG welding being preferred and forgoing the JB weld, but can’t argue with the results in it being intact and stable! Video was awesome!

Nice bayonet. Because it makes a triangular hole when inserted into a body, the wound can not be sutured back together properly, so that type of bayonet was banned.

Fantastic restoration, thank you. To the bayonet crew below me, check the video title, it is circa 1865 to 1870. He did not claim ww2.

When you feel in a large area with multiple tacs with a flux core welder I would clean between welds if there will be any overlap at all. If you don't you'll get slag buried in there.

The three sided blades were designed to make a wound that was harder to repair or heal. I wish they were still designed like that. They would come in handy in close quarters combat

@pfcparis Год назад

@@codycampbell3562 Wounding a soldier is not a war crime. Even if it is, it is so by modern sensibilities. Weapons of this kind have been standard for thousands of years across all cultures. Weapons and tactics used in the American Civil War were based on those used by Napoleon.

suggests. Bet that screw has a little room set aside in Hell. Great post , my son liked the magic, as usual. He wasn't shy about telling me what a bayonet is for , l have a WW2 bayonet and a modern bayonet in a glass topped case. My Dad was in the Pacific and l was in Iraq. Hopefully he won't make a contribution to that collection.

@RibobloHer 2 года назад

Such things are welded by TIG welding, And you have MIG, and it seems without gas, and you don’t seem to know how to use it ... The welding wire should not come out more than 4-5 mm from the nozzle, otherwise there will be a lot of spatter. Use TIG welding, it will be more accurate and better.

That screw hadn’t been removed since the civil war and that bend in the bayonet was probably from combat it makes me slightly sad to see you removing some of the history from the piece

@JakeCharlson Год назад

I like most of what you do, but this one hurt to watch. Getting rid of rust to stop further degradation is one thing, but reshaping and painting the thing, there's no history left in that piece. It's all been removed and covered up.
