Set of Two German and French Rifle Bayonets: Featured in this lot we have a set of two bayonets from Germany and France.

The first piece measures 14 1/2" long overall with a 9 1/2" blade and the second piece measures 14 1/2" long overall with just under a 9 3/4" blade.

About 2100 were allocated to NH for its 3 battalions of inf. in the Continental Army, and were marked with stae battalion and rack numbers. These weapons saw action at Saratoga, Valley Forge, in the Philadelphia campaign, on Sullivan’s expedition against the Iroquois, and then in the North Department. In the hands of nH light inf. companies, some probably also saw service in the south and at Yorktown. They are the only American regimentally marked longarms of the Revolution. The 2nd NH Battalion, from which this musket comes, saw the heaviest service of the NH regiments. Its flags may still be seen at the NH Historical Society.Out of some 12,000 French longarms brought into Portsmouth Harbor in March, 1777, about 2100 were allotted to NH to arm its 3 battalions serving in the Continental line. A Portsmouth silversmith was hired tomake the stamps with which to mark the muskets and bayonets. Markings consisted of a ligatured "NH" followed by a number and a "B", designating either the First, Second or Third battalion, then "No" and the rack number of the weapon. Bayonets were marked only with the rack number. Rack numbers run to about 700, correspondinhg to the established strength for Continental Army infantry battalions. 4-57424 (7,000-10,000)
