Egyptian M1869 Remington Rolling Block Bayonet, Manufactured by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co.

Egyptian M1869 Remington Rolling Block Bayonet, designed to fit the Remington rolling block rifles adopted by Egypt in the second half of the 19th century, manufactured by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co., Solingen, Germany.

The bayonet is contained within a steel scabbard with a steel loop for wear within a frog

Ricasso bears the maker’s trademark and “W”. No other notable marks present.
