Original U.S. Civil War Era 3rd Model P-1853 Enfield Three Band Export Rifle with JS / Anchor Marking dated 1861 U.S. Badges The small style leather blade

The small style leather blade buffer is in place

but no cracks or other major damage

as most M4 bayonets were manufactured with plastic or rubber grips
