Sword bayonet for use on the 11 mm (.43 Egyptian) Remington No. 1 Rolling-Block rifle produced by Remington for the Egyptian government.

A clone of the French M1866 Chassepot bayonet, the Egyptian Remington bayonet is distinguished by the lack of a chamfer in the mortise (mounting slot).  The last picture at left compares the Egyptian M1867 mortise to that of the French M1866 bayonet.

These bayonets are said to have been made by several Solingen firms under sub-contract to Remington.  This example is unmarked, save for the letter "B" on the forward face of the crosspiece.

Although classified as “Egyptian,” many rifles and bayonets from the first Egyptian contract were diverted to France for use on the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. It is possible that additional quantities were made for other countries as well.
