Those are prety good links leroy123 and AdrianR, very interesting reading and some good pics, pity they werent color and a big clearer.

Just out of interest, below is a Brown Bess bayonet with wooden handle believed to have been used at the Battle of Ballinahinch and came from the Montalto Estate. (See 'Collectors Items and Antiques' for more info).
