What country and rifle model ?
It's a French Gras bayonet, Gras being the officer who designed it. Model of 1874. On the spine I think it says. "Manufacture of (Works?) of St Etienne July 18?6." It looks like 1816, but can't be. Maybe it's Armory of St Etienne. I forget the rifle or rifles.What country and rifle model ?

It looks like maybe a Euro-style 7 with a crossbar.
I'll try looking up the serial number: 77050.

Two LT Wrights with stag covers. I bought them from separate people off the exchange. And brought the brothers back together.
Nice to see you folks are eating well Dave
Thanks Jack! Brother Bill's menu for dinner was ribeye steaks, poatotes au gratin, asparagus and SPICY
shrimp! He took care of breakfast for the crew too. Scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy and fried potatoes.
He used his Sonoran Hunter to split the biscuits for the biscuits and gravy.
LOL! Looks fantastic You take incredible pics my friend
Thank you sir! Breakfast had to wait a little as we were missing 40 percent of the herd when we gathered the day prior. Course we get there early for breakfast and lo and behold there's the cattle. So get my crew horseback and they go get em. I didn't go as my daughter's horse was stoved up from the hard ride the day before so I loaned her my horse. Anyhoo here they come with the vast majority right away. Those five or six we could see turned out to be about 35 head or so.

Last four we could see way up on the ridge behind camp. My crew went and got around em and brought em down. Right at the gate they tried to make a break for it but Jane, the leader of the three members of The wolfpack present and on command, put an end to that:
Got these two batches all counted and now it was time for breakfast, well kinda a cowboy brunch. Dang near eleven.
