Another Engineer from same unit as Post #1159, here with a very wide mesh net  of uncertain origin, maybe a vehicle net note the Hawley Liner, most uncommon for this late date of March 1945.

You'll be wanting an M7, try to find a Milpar marked bayonet though other contracts exist along with an M8a1 scabbard.  

In 1968, the US Army primarily used the M7 Bayonet for the M16 rifle. Introduced in 1964 alongside the M16 during the Vietnam War, the M7 was a spear-point bayonet and fighting knife that featured a distinctively large muzzle ring to fit around the M16's barrel and flash suppressor. 

From 9/34th Armor or 4/5th Cavalry, 94th Infantry Division, in its final days as a combat unit, 1959-1963.  Sadly the name was cut out of the old tape.  

Just added the tab for the handle, used an old split pin as a “button” to secure it

. Carentan decorations for 82nd anniversary year.   Things are happening all around Normandy especially in Carentan,  here is a display of over two thousand flags at the town side of Purple Hear Lane which basically runs down from Deadman's Corner museum into the town.  At this end of the lane is where the famous Colonel Cole bayonet charge happened.    I spent half the day helping out at the Longest yarn display, I saw empty wall space in the building and suggested that some shelves were added to display the sales items which help to fund the veterans charities the Longest Yarn supports.   We ran out of time to totally fill the shelves today but that will be done in the next few days.   Johan called in to see us while he was in Carentan, and purchased a pack of the ' Jeep ' Christmas cards, and laughed saying I would probably be getting one back addressed to me at Christmas.                          Norman D.

Nice haul! I really like the tail fin.

I need to find what bayonets are good for m16s

Some things from today. Couple 105mm projectiles  from '68 and '70 no fuzes. Nice nurse poster from 1944. A ship home crate from someone in the Coast Guard. Tailfins to a 750lb. bomb. Don't know why the holes are punched in the fins. They are all the same pattern and angled the same way. And a Welson-Davis suspension in a liner. Last week somebody had a Ford No. 8 experimental but he wanted to much. Thanks. Greg.
