Hows it going.
I found a rusty bayonet in the storage shed at the duplex im renting here in Austin, TX.

After doing some research, I know that its a Yatagan style sword-bayonet with a Quillon on the crosspiece, and the locking screw is slightly forward on the muzzle ring.

All i know about bayonets, I learned in the past hour at my desk at work, so im by no means educated in these respects. I would just like to figure out a bit more about it. I found a post on this site in a google serarch (Unknown Yataghan sword bayonet - keltic0_1s Photo Gallery - Military Surplus Collectors Forums) which looks almost identical to my accidentally inherited treasure. Mine is quite a bit more rusty, and I havent had time to look it over for markings. All I have to go off of is a single picture I took this morning before hastily leaving late for work. Ill post the pic in response to his post if the site allows me to do so. Feel free to conetact or email me if u think u may be able to help me identify my bayonet!
