French Model 1842 Yataghan sword bayonet featuring the distinctive recurved yataghan-style blade and brass hilt. This example has been painted black and exhibits a strong overall patina, giving it a well-used appearance. It shows age-related wear, handling marks, and finish loss consistent with long-term storage and use.

The Model 1842 was one of the earliest French sword bayonets to utilize the iconic yataghan blade profile, a design that influenced numerous military bayonets throughout the 19th century. Despite the painted finish and heavy patina, this bayonet retains its recognizable form and makes an interesting addition to collections of antique military edged weapons.
