Sorry I'm a little late to the party I don't get on here much now days. I happen to see this on gunboards a little while back and thought the same thing about the rivets looked tampered with. And the eagle I didn't quite recognize.

Happy to see the owner received more additional information here. I had thought about posting a link to here because of course there are a lot of dress bayonet collectors here so I'm told:) some forums frown on linking elsewhere sometimes and I don't post there very often.

I'll try to stop by here more often in the future guys.

Steve,
