A.F.H. (Union Fork and Hoe) M1 Garand Bayonet With Wooden Grips By A.F.H. and Scabbard. Bayonets

U.S. Rare M1 Garand Bayonet With Wooden Grips By A.F.H. and Scabbard. BAYO 294 - BAYO 294

This is a rare newly made M1 bayonet and not a cut M1905 or M1942 blade. The six groove grips are wooden instead of the usual plastic grips and are held to the bayonet by one screw bolt. This is unusual as the grips are normally of black plastic.. The fullers on the blade do not go down to the tip, stopping 2 ¾ inches from the tip. The bayonet is stamped on the ricasso with A.F.H. (Union Fork and Hoe) U.S. and has the Flaming Grenade (Frankford Arsenal). The bayonet is carried in its correct composite olive green plastic scabbard with a steel mouthpiece on which is stamped the U.S. flaming grenade and its designation M3. The bayonet is virtually identical to the one shown as in item 930 on pages 412 and 437 in The Bayonet Book by White and Watts. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 293
