MT247 Posted February 16, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 16, 2018 Looking at a few threads on here got me all riled up about the bayonets that I have picked up recently and forgot to boast about. So here goes. Please take a look and let me know what you all think. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin6 Posted February 16, 2018 Share #9 Posted February 16, 2018 Good set of used, but not abused, bayonets that cover from WW2 to Vietnam. The M1 and the scabbard are both cut downs from original pieces for the 16-inch M1905 bayonets made in 1942 and early 1943. Keep going, only several hundred more to go.

How can you tell if the scabbard was cut down? I know about the bayonet but not the scabbard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The metal throat is crimped to the plastic body. Non-shortened bayonet throats are notched at the point they attach to the body. Also, look under the top plate and in addition to the heat lot number (B 2/3 N or something to that effect) you'll see an REP stamping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for the info. Learn something new everyday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have been getting carried away with weapons lately. I have a M1 Garand 1943 and a M1 Carbine from 1943. A while ago I built a M-16 from original colt parts so now I have the Bayonets for all three. I mean if I find the rifle, I have to have the accessories right!

Kind of like a cold that starts with a sneeze long before it becomes a full-blown, knock-down illness. My first knife/bayonet was a rubber-handled M4 my father carried in Korea. I picked up a carbine with the bayonet lug along with a sling and oiler. It starts slow but builds quickly. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
