Socket bayonet for use on the 12.17 mm. M1867 Remington rolling block military rifle. 

According to Per Holmback, noted authority on Scandinavian bayonets, M1867’s were manufactured in quite large quantities by both Husqvarna and Carl Gustaf Stad. They also bought 10,000 bayonets from Remington Arms. Co. of Ilion, New York, and this is one of those.  The Remington order was delivered on September 2, 1868.  The Remington made bayonet is recognized by the steel blade and iron socket. The Swedish-made bayonets were all steel.

The iron socket has a more porous surface than the steel of the elbow and blade. The weld line between the steel and iron is clearly visible in the lower photo.
