Dug Civil War Bayonet

[Civil War Geek]

I have handled many bayonets from the Civil War, but this one seems strange. It appears to be bent up and bent sideways. As you can see from the pictures, the bend is quite significant. Has anyone seen another one like this one or now why it may have this bend?

Just a guess. Maybe it was bent when driven in ground as tent peg. By the way, nice!

Perhaps it wasn't stuck into the ground...

Good luck to all,

(I would agree that they were probably used and mis-used as a handy camp tool!)

Hope it was not damaged in a Person.
