Trapdoor bayonet

[GOPHER SLAYER]

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.

trapdoors were blued. rifled muskets and rolling blocks were armory white. which means polished and left that way.
