My pawn shop called and said a guy brought in a few old bayonets and asked if I'd come down and see if wanted them.
All three were M1 Garand bayonets of different flavors.....I gave $50.00 each for them.
Top to bottom:
1942 dated M1905 made by Utica Cutlery in very nice shape.
Bayonet, M1.....Known as a transitional bayonet made by Union Fork & Hoe. They were made from unused M1905 blade blanks, likely made around May of 1943....Most all are undated.
M5A1 made by Milpar Col......First issued in 1953. They are not dated.
All have their proper sheaths.
