Nice display piece, not for practical use

It looks like the photo, but too much play in the handle. The sheath is too loose, but smells and looks amazing.

Not up to par with Townsend high quality standard.

The tang on this is a small metal rod that runs the length of the handle. It is welded to the base of the blade near the hilt. Mine came apart there from normal handling. I pulled it out of the sheath and it literally fell to pieces. If it hadn't happened to me I wouldn't believe it either. It had only been used for display in my home. A refund was hassle free. No complaints toward Townsend. Just a heads up to anyone considering this particular plug bayonet.

Excellent materials, excellent service.

A very nice plug bayonet - will fit a .75 cal bore with ease. Black sheath makes for easy cleaning. Best value in this price range.

Really pleased with the quality. My musket’s lug came off and adapters wouldn’t work. But this worked excellent. A little sanding to fit the barrel, since mine was a smaller caliber. Very happy!!
