Scarce British Enfield 1853 Socket Bayonet With Lock Ring marked RDS with Birmingham proofs.

This is a socket bayonet manufactured from the period of 1853 to about 1864.This is a Model 1853 Enfield socket bayonet and fits great on my musket.
They are typically British in design in that they have a blade "shoulder" and are shallow fullered, whereas American bayonets of the period were without a shoulder and had very deep fullers that extended out the back of the blade.
These are attached by fitting them over the barrel muzzle, and fastened into position by means of a mortise slot and locking ring.
All metal construction.
These were designed to fit the .577" caliber Enfield "3-band" Rifled Infantry Muskets of the period.
On this specimen: blade length is about 21" and muzzle ring diameter is ~0.81" (internal); socket length is ~3". It has Birmingham Proof Marks view pictures.

These bayonets were used extensively - both sides - in the American Civil War.
