Misfit 45 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share #151 Posted July 11, 2023 That's a nice PAL. The M1905s dated 1943 were only made from January to April approximately, so there are fewer of them, than there are 1942s. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxHole1943 Posted September 15, 2023 Share #152 Posted September 15, 2023 Is this the bayonet that’s being discussed? Uncut AFH stamped 1943 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIPH Posted September 15, 2023 Share #157 Posted September 15, 2023 Foxhole1943- The entire thread started out as a question concerning a "AFH" made as a 10" blade that was dated. Not a cut down to 10" nor a 16" version. Somehow it got off track in the last year or two. The 10" as made w/ date stamp are the rare ones.

SKIP Haha, I keep seeing this thread pop up and hopefully showing the elusive 10” as made and dated. It’s like spotting big foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nbound Posted January 30 Share #160 Posted January 30 For those who have not seen it, here it is again. And yes it did pass the weld test. I'm still searching for an uncut 1943 UC if anyone can help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyrax222 Posted January 31 Share #161 Posted January 31 So facinating! Gives the rest of us hope! As to the M1905, UC 1943: you and everyone else! hyrax222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nbound Posted January 31 Share #162 Posted January 31 I would maybe consider this as a trade for the M1905 1943 UC . Cash or my trade bait, a one of a kind Buck 185 with provenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dentino Posted January 31 Share #163 Posted January 31 So just stumbled across this thread (again) and decided to take a look at my bayo and want to know if it is on the "rarer" side or a common pig sticker. It is a UFH 10" 1942 date stamped with scabbard. Anything special about this at all or just a common run of the mill M1 bayonet? I know, and don't collect, US blades of any sort but this thread makes my head spin reading through 7 pages. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misfit 45 Posted January 31 Author Share #164 Posted January 31 Brian Dentino, Your M1 as you describe it, is pretty common. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dentino Posted January 31 Share #165 Posted January 31 Thanks Marv, that is what I thought but with all the makers and dates swirling around this thread I think I had the "fog of bayonet" effect with makers/dates/10"/16"/etc. and I must admit I got a little confused not being a blade guy. I am happy with my representative M1 bayo and she sure looks pretty on the end of the Garand so I am good. Thanks for the input and confirmation. Appreciate all on this great forum, even for a long time guy like me, to answer a question I should have known. Best blades to you all, and happy hunting this 2024!
