WW2 US M1 Garand Bayonet M1905/42
Offered here is a very fine and hard to find example of the early production M1 Garand bayonet. These bayonets were produced in 1942 and still used the older M1909 style and length. As war production increased and US soldiers were mobilized the need for a shorter, more easily manufactured bayonet was seen. These bayonets were often issued to soldiers who carried the Thompson sub-machine gun. You do not find many examples of these on the collector market, as during the war many were cut down to a more realistic length and reissued to GI’s. Condition is as good as you could want it, the soldier who carried this bayonet carved his initials into the scabbard. No cracks, dents, or damage that I can see. A very fine example!
