There is a narrow fuller in the face of the blade running 7” back from the tip. Socket is short at 2.75” inches long with large crude mortise. Overall length is a hair more than 18 inches. There is a “bridge” covering the mortise at the base of the socket like on an 1816 bayonet. Attic untouched condition. Grey steel with areas of moderate pitting.
