chassepot bayonet with atypical markings

Interesting, thank you. I've looked through some online databases of yataghan bayonets, and it looks like Remington ones have unchamfered hilt slots. Mine's chamfered, which make me assume it was for a chassepot.

Old smithy's database mentions a Remington bayonet "marked with Alex Coppel balance on left side of blade and has a "C" in a circle on the right hand side. Has un chamfered hilt slot" That's close to mine except mine has a "B" instead of a "C" and the hilt slot on mine is chamfered.

Hello:

I live in Argentina, and I am a lover of history of the weapons used. I assure you the Comblain came to be used long after 1871, as the link says, and breechloaders first came into use in 1873 (Remington rifle, Robert, who was a convert to the Springfield breech). Notwithstanding this, some weapons retrocrga, conversion of muzzleloaders, such as the Albini-Brandlin, but were never officially adopted.

Affectionately. Fernando K

Sorry for the translator
