No sword. It went on the bottom of a bayonet scabbard.

No sword. That's a bayonet scabbard tip. They commonly came loose from the leather scabbard and were lost/discarded.

It's a bayonet scabbard tip. Google " Gaylord bayonet". I believe they were mainly used on Springfields. I dug a whole one yesterday. Pretty cool!

Definitely better than a bullet
