The 22" socket bayonet was named the "Lunger" by the soldiers. Triangular in shape, the bayonet was purely a stabbing weapon, with no sharp edges. Known today as the Pattern 76', this is actually incorrect, the official name was the "Bayonet Common Long". This is the type used during the Zulu war at the Rocks Drift. Bayonets were marked with the War Department stamp, and the Enfield Viewing marks. From July 21st 1882 socket bayonets were marked with the date of manufacture. This was made in June 1888. The majority of the Common bayonets were manufactured by the Royal Small Arms factory Enfield. Triangular fullered blade, well stamped.

*Condition*
The bayonet is in good used condition with some rusting.
