The Socket Bayonet in the British Army 1687-1783

The spectacle of English "red-coats" on the attack, relentlessly descending upon enemy lines with fixed bayonets, is one of the most chilling images from European history and the American Revolution. The bayonets covered in this book stood side by side with the "Brown Bess" as symbols of English power throughout the world. Drawing upon new information from archaeological digs and archival records, the author explains how to identify each bayonet and shows which types were used where and with which guns. No collector of flintlock military longarms can afford to do without this useful new book. (165 black & white illustrations).
