sheepy Posted September 9, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2014 Im looking for pictures for reference of the m1905 bayonet cut down to a "drop point" type in use during WWII or Korea regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactroop Posted September 9, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 9, 2014 Not sure this is what your looking for. First I believe this was made from unfinished M1 bayonet parts. The re-profiled tip is not exactly a "drop point". It is generally believed that these examples were most likely assembled after WW2 from surplus parts. That being said it is possible that such knives could have found their way to the Korean conflict via a personal purchase route. I'm sure others will drop by with images of other examples.

bayonetman Posted September 9, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 9, 2014 I am not sure what you mean by "drop point" as none of the 1905 bayonets were officially reshaped to what I understand a drop point to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GARY! YOU"RE BACK! Here is what you will typically find on a cut-down 1905 bayonet. They were used in both WWII and Korea. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WW2JAKE Posted September 10, 2014 Share #8 Posted September 10, 2014 i may be crazy but I've always noticed some of the bayonets in this picture seemed to have a different shape to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militariaone Posted September 10, 2014 Share #9 Posted September 10, 2014 i may be crazy but I've always noticed some of the bayonets in this picture seemed to have a different shape to them. Greetings Jake, British WWII Home Guard troops with Ross Rifles/Bayonets. Yes, they possessed armory altered points from the originals too, but these are not cut-down M-1905s pictured.
