Bayonets furnished with a socket handle which fitted over the muzzle and locked in place with a slot and stud, holding the bayonet parallel to the barrel; the firearm could still be fired when the bayonet was fixed. Introduced in the last quarter of the 17th century, they became the most popular form, continuing in use until the late 19th century.
