wow, I use to own stuff that I no longer own as well. small world
but past that, they are neat for sure and its nice to have high quality photos online for when people are trying to research, figure out what they have, want to know what parts to use if making reproductions or thinking about buying one and want to see what original one look like.
CGN doesn't come up on goggle and the search function on this site sucks though.

I collect Civil War stuff-- carbines--muskets--rifles --revolvers--bayonets---swords.
I have 5 WWII pistols left---the rest of the WWII stuff is gone.
I also have an Inland M1 carbine.

The blade length on the Model 1917 Remington bayonet is 17 inches.

I added the bayonet---AND NOW----both guns are gone---never to return.
That is very nice, I could not sell that if I owned it....
How much is a set up like this worth ?
Speaking of bayonets.
I bought the M1917 Remington bayonet shown above in 2002 for $250 from a local dealer.
I looked for a saber bayonet for my Sharps rifle for a long time with no luck.
On Feb 10 2023 I finally found the bayonet shown above and bought it from a dealer in the U.S. for $1173.30 USD ($1,620.54 Cdn)
Sometimes we need good luck and patience in this collecting game.

Usually the gun comes before the bayonet?
However on May 10 2001 I bought this Dahlgren (knife) bayonet for $1,500---thinking that one day I would find the rifle---WHICH NEVER HAPPENED.
This bayonet was for the Plymouth Whitneyville Rifle issued to the U.S. Navy.
The Whitney 1861 Navy Rifle, also known as the Plymouth or Whitney-Plymouth was designed from the recommendations of Captain John A. Dahlgren, the famous Navy Ordnance officer. The.69 caliber muzzle loading rifle was developed and tested on board Dahlgren's ship, the U.S.S. Plymouth, 1856-1858. The Whitney Arms Company supplied the U.S. Navy with about ten thousand Plymouths.
THIS IS THE RIFLE IT WAS DESIGNED TO FIT ON. (NOT MINE!)
SOMEONE WROTE-
The first Knife Bladed bayonet is considered to be the Model 1861 for the Plymouth / Whitneyville rifle. It is perhaps better known by its nickname the Dahlgren Bowie Bayonet, named for it inventor Admiral John A. Dahlgren. Many articles have been written about the Dahlgren bayonet but what is most intriguing are the actual letters from the Admiral himself regarding its design and use. As we know the basic use of a bayonet is mounted to the end of a rifle or musket. To Dahlgren's thinking this is not the proper use of his newly invented arm. It should be known that Admiral Dahlgren was in command of several Navy ships and knew first hand what close quarters fighting was about. With this in mind perhaps we can relate to the admirals thought when he wrote that the bayonet was best used in the hand not mounted on the end of the rifle it was designed for. It is also interesting to note that the 1861 rifle already had a sword bayonet designed for it at the time of Dahlgren's invention of the new bayonet. In Dahlgren's own words he called it the "most useless thing in the world except at the end of a musket." Perhaps this explains why most Dahlgren bayonets do NOT fit the Model 1861 rifle. They were meant to but they were also designed to be used as a close quarters fighting weapon in a sailors or marines hand. The Admiral invented a bayonet because a knife would not be sanctioned by the Ordnance Board. But being the clever fellow he was the bayonet did not really have to fit the rifle either.

This is the only photo that I have of the other side of the bayonet.
I sold the gun with the bayonet for $6,000 years ago.
That's what I need thanks . Mines a Eddystone so Remington is what mark I need to look for.
