U.S. Rare M1 Bayonet and Scabbard for the Garand Rifle By A.F.H. BAYO 719 Bayonet

This is a rare M1 bayonet and not a cut M1905 or M1942 blade. The grips are plastic and are held to the bayonet by one screw bolt. The fullers on the blade do not go down to the tip, stopping 2 ¾ inches from the tip. The blade is in very good order and is showing signs of service wear.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 crossguard is stamped ‘5058’. The bayonet is carried in its correct composite olive green plastic scabbard *unfortunately showing some etching/damage* with a steel mouthpiece on which is stamped the U.S. flaming grenade. 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 719.
