A 'Movie Sergeant' can do anything - smoke a pipe, while playing a harmonica and reading sheet music (propped up with a British Pattern 1888 bayonet).

Those movie prop guns had to suffer a lot of abuse. Charlie's model 1896 Krag seems to be fitted with a pattern 1888 bayonet. I am not certain about the second bayonet in a Krag scabbard on his Mills Belt. I think that is also a British pattern 1888 hilt and the rivets look mighty shiny, like brass.

(BTW - The 'helmets' appear to be cut and shaped felt hats).
