Unfinished M1 bayonets

I found these the other day. All are identical. They appear to be unfinished or factory seconds. Any opinions?

Even as crude as those tips are, I think they are ready to assemble and parkerize. I have had UC M1s that I thought were ground on by some garage mechanic (no offense to garage mechanics), but it turned out that's the way UC did some of their blades. I think you have a great find. It's good to see the process in action.

Would I be correct in assuming that these are from the Utica contract in 1952-53, and not WW2? SKIP

Robin,

 

Very nice finds, are they fully machined to accept the catch assembly?

I don't know if it's a "great find" or just an interesting one. I plan on keeping only one for my collection. Do they have any value?
