Could someone tell me if Springfield Bayonets were blued? This one is in great shape, blued or not and so is the rifle.

Weird, because I thought I answered this question yesterday, but the answer is gone now?
Yes, they were blued.
Also my 1884 rifle with a `Ramrod Bayonet`.Robert
trapdoors were blued. rifled muskets and rolling blocks were armory white. which means polished and left that way.
