THe Yataghan Sytle bayonet

Note:- click on image for larger version of images

In 1840 the French produced a bayonet whose style was to affect bayonet design across the world for the next 50 years. The 1840 model had a distinctive recurved blade, based on the North African Yataghan swords. Why the shape was chosen is open to conjecture, the shape gave a longer reach with the long blade and the curve ensured that the blade was out of the bullet trajectory, of course it may just have been a styling exercise. There is a theory that the choice of blade was the best compromise for a blade between thrusting and slashing; In some areas the Yataghan bade replaced the infantry sword and the socket bayonet so this theory may hold, however in other armies the ordinary trooper in the field was never issued a sword, this being a status symbol for the "gentlemen" officers so the theory has a few gaps.

The 1840 had a brass cross guard and hilt with a steel scabbard, within 2 years this had been changed to a steel crossguard as the brass was found not to give the required strength and resilience. The 1842 model had a steel cross guard and a modified blade, a further modification to this was made in 1859 to give the 42/59, this had an internal spring instead of the external leaf spring, by this time the blade style had migrated to other countries with the USA in 1842, UK starting in 1853 with their first Yataghans. Over the next 60+ years virtually every country made a Yataghan styled blade, the last being made at the beginning of the 20th Century in South America

I hope in this page to provide a guide to the Yataghan style blade the users and the various users of the style,, and provide information on the variations and the countries who have used them. Where possible I have used examples from my collection to illustrate the information, others have been illustrated by other collectors allowing me to use examples from their collections (and duly noted with thanks)

		A 1866 Chassepot style bayonet with a brass plug filling the location that the bottom rivet would have taken, is a late FP war version which were made without the rivet to make production easier.

Most first pattern bayonets are found in this condition. Many will be found with a numbered brass tag wrapped around the quillion the purpose of which I am unsure at the moment. Mathieu Willemsen, curator Royal Netherlands Army and Arms museum, has suggested that these collars identify the ship to which the bayonet was issued, similar plates were added to other equipment, there is however no records to ID which ship the numbers refer to, many thanks for this								693	572	17.3
