U.S M4 WWII Bayonet and Scabbard. 20155. Bayonet

This is a very nice WWII M4 bayonet (The M4 bayonet was introduced in 1944 for use with the M1 carbine. The M4 bayonet, like the M3 fighting knife that preceded it, was designed for rapid production using a minimum of strategic metals and machine processes; it used a relatively narrow 6.75-inch bayonet-style spear-point blade with a sharpened 3.5-inch secondary edge) it is marked to the crossguard with ‘U.S. M4 AERIAL’ (Aerial Cutlery Manufacturing Co) The blade retains most of its original finish and the grip has the usual leather washers, which are firm and tight. The pommel carries a number 134. The scabbard is the early ‘U.S. M8’ made by ‘B.M.Co.’ (Beckwith Manufacturing Co). A nice late WWII M4 & M8 scabbard combination. The price includes UK delivery. 20155.
