American U.S. M5-1 Bayonet, Scabbard And Frog. BAYO 301 - BAYO 301
This is an American M5-1 bayonet made by Aerial. This bayonet has the improved locking catch which was necessary due to the difficult in operating the original catch. The bayonet is marked on the crossguard U.S.M5-1 and AERIAL together with the U.S. government Department of Defence acceptance mark consisting of a stylised eagle surmounted by 3 stars. This replaced the old flaming grenade and was in use between 1955 to the mid-1960s. The bayonet is contained in its correct U.S. M8A1 scabbard made by P.W.H. and its green cloth frog.
