You cats have some interesting stuff around your pads. If we got together we could have a hell of a yard sale so far.

I was thinking it was a 1904 stamp, but it's 1907.
I am questioning the age of this now.My question is in regards to the date stamp....
Is that the date of manufacture, or just a patent date for the Ross name?
Anybody?

Antique Arms, Inc. - Ross Rifle Bayonet & Scabbard, U.S. Marked
Most patent dates are of the creation of the item to find the date of production I would research the symbols on the other side the ones in the first photo.
They are usually icons of the foundry or armory, and date, and sometimes where it was being sent to .

Thanks for the link.
I was pretty sure it was 2/16/1907.
I've gorked many things with this bayonet, but I wonder how many people it has had a taste of in it's combat days. (if it saw combat)
This flag is a trophy of war that may soon be in the hands of the Smithsonian Institution...

Very cool!
Running across Civil War artifacts is not uncommon in my neck of the woods. My neighbor has two unexploded mortars/cannon balls (whatever they are) that she found in the woods not 100 yards from our homes. Not long ago a man had a mortar similar to my neighbor's explode in his home in Maryland (I think they said he was drilling it to get the powder out) so now I am just waiting for those puppies to go off next door.Last edited by VanHalener; 08-24-2009, 09:27 AM.~Only you can prevent low volume~Comment

My house, the oldest part, is over 500 years old. Only a small part of it, and no doubt lots of renovation has been done. But strictly speaking....Comment
