M-1898 Cadet Bayonet Basic Information

The M-1898 Cadet Bayonet, or Type II Krag Cadet Bayonet, is a second variant of the M-1892 Bayonet made specifically for the Cadet Corps at West Point and may have been used at other military schools. The bayonet is a full size standard bayonet, modified with nickel plating, a rounded tip, and rosewood grips secured by threaded screws instead of rivets. Produced in very limited quantities this bayonet is sometimes confused with standard M-1892 bayonets that were chromed for use in veteran posts.
