1914 U.S. M1905 Springfield Armoury Sword Bayonet for the M1903 Springfield Rifle with Bespoke Animal Skin Covered Scabbard. BAYO 452. - BAYO 452
The M1905 bayonet was produced from 1906 to 1922 by Springfield Armoury and Rock Island Arsenal (RIA). The blade and handle frame were forged as a single piece with a wide, square-shaped fuller. The ribbed hand grips were made of walnut and attached to the handle with a screw. The screw also held the catch mechanism, manipulated with a button under the crossguard, that was used to fix the bayonet to the rifle's bayonet lug. In mid-1941, it was decided to restart production of the M1905 bayonet. To simplify production, these later bayonets had handles with black or dark red ribbed grips, made of phenol formaldehyde resin, the earliest type of synthetic plastic. Production was scheduled to begin in January 1942, but the first bayonets were not delivered until April, with quantity deliveries not beginning until the summer of 1942. Despite initial setbacks, the M1905 bayonet was manufactured in sufficient numbers to keep up with the widespread introduction of the new M1 Garand rifle in 1942. By the end of 1942, all six manufacturers had changed the shape of their fullers to a narrower, round-bottomed shape. The later version of the M1905 bayonet with plastic grips is sometimes referred to as the "M1942" by collectors and historians. This is an excellent 1914 dated M1905 Bayonet made by ‘SA’ (see White & Watts ‘The Bayonet Book’ item 921 pages 411 and 434). The 405 mm long steel blade with fullers stamped by the maker ‘SA’ above Frankford arsenal ignited grenade mark and date 1914. The reverse has the number ‘597662’ . The correct, walnut grips are ribbed & correctly held by a single screw. The wood has knocks, bumps and bruises to be expected. The bayonet has the correct press button at the cross guard which releases the locking catch on the rifle and also holds the bayonet firmly in the scabbard. The scabbard in nice order is the early pattern with an unusual animal skin sewn over a wooden frame. The throat has been adapted to fit. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 452. (US Bayonets)

*Scarce Wrongly Dated 1918* U.S. Model ‘1917’ Remington Bayonet and Scabbard. 21432. - 21432
This is a nice clean ‘P1917’ dated ‘1918’ by Remington in error. Remington mistakenly used the manufacture date 1918 in place of the pattern designation. The bayonet should be stamped ‘1917’ .This error was soon rectified and 1918 stamped ‘P17’ bayonets are scarce. The bayonet made in ‘WWII’ for the ‘P17 30-06’ rifle. It can be differentiated from the ‘P13’ which it resembles by the markings on the blade. This example is marked to the blade with ‘1918’ over Remington in a circle, meaning manufacture by ‘Remington’ (founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington (as E. Remington and Sons) in Ilion, New York, it was one of the oldest gun makers in the US and claimed to be the oldest factory in the US that still made its original product) who made over 2 million bayonets. The other side of the blade carries the flaming grenade and eagles head over ‘U, S’. and inspection marks. The grips are wooden *with minor age related marks* with two grooves cut across them which is where it resembles the ‘P13’ and was interchangeable with the ‘P13’ except for the ‘P17’ rifle being 30.06 instead of the British .303. The scabbard which is solid with stitching intact is the standard American ‘P17’ version with belt hooks attached and U.S. government inspector mark "EJB" to the rear. These bayonets were often issued to the Home guard in WWII. See ‘Skennerton’ item B289 page 236. A scarce piece, for the collector. The price includes U.K. delivery. 21432. (US Bayonets)

**Saipan Found** WWII U.S.M.C. M1942 Pattern M1 Garand Bayonet & Scabbard. 21407. - 21407
This bayonet and scabbard were found on the island of Saipan (Saipan was under Spanish sovereignty from 1565 to 1899 and came under German rule from 1899 to 1914. It was made a Japanese mandate in 1920. During World War II the successful U.S. led Allied invasion and capture of the island (June–July 1944) was one of the fiercest land battles in the Pacific theatre) where it was being used by a local farmer to chop wood for kindling. Despite initial setbacks, the M1905 bayonet was manufactured in sufficient numbers to keep up with the widespread introduction of the new M1 Garand rifle in 1942. By the end of 1942, all six manufacturers had changed the shape of their fullers to a narrower, round-bottomed shape. The later version of the M1905 bayonet with plastic grips is sometimes referred to as the "M1942" by collectors and historians. This is a WII M1942 Bayonet (see White & Watts ‘The Bayonet Book’ item 927 pages 412). The 16” long steel blade with fullers is stamped 1942 *obscured*. The correct plastic grips are correctly held by a single screw- minor movement in the crossguard. The plastic has knocks, bumps and bruises to be expected. The bayonet has the correct press button at the cross guard which releases the locking catch on the rifle and also holds the bayonet firmly in the scabbard. The scabbard is the M3 plastic variant with ignited grenade ‘US’ (army) mark on the throat mount. The throat has the correct double hook belt bar. The price includes U.K. delivery. 21407.

**RARE**MINT**VIETNAM WAR ERA**U.S Army M6 Bayonet By Imperial And M8A1 Scabbard With Integral Frog By PWH (Pennsylvania Working Home For The Blind). Sn 20204 - 20204
This is a scarce M6 bayonet for the M14 rifle. The M14 rifle was issued to conform to NATO requirements for a 7.62mm round as standard. It utilised the Garand action but with a 20 round magazine and half stock. The M14 differed from the Garand in that it had a flash eliminator therefore the M5A1 bayonet would not fit. The M6 deleted the stud fitting on the cross guard of the M5A1 and returned to a standard muzzle ring. It was adopted in 1957 and was in production until 1963, before the issue of the M16 rifle and M7 bayonet. This is a near mint M6 bayonet made by Imperial (Providence Rhode Island USA) and is stamped with ‘US M6’ & ‘Imperial’ on the cross guard (illustrated). It has a 6 ¾” single edged blade and measures 11 ½” overall. This is one of the hardest bayonets to find in the 'M' series as it was only in production for 6 years. The scabbard is stamped 'US M8A1' and by the manufacturer PWH (Pennsylvania Working Home For The Blind). It has the correct integral webbing frog with retaining strap, stud fastener & wire belt hanger. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 20204

*U.S. Winchester Model ‘1917’ Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 352. - BAYO 352
This is a nice clean ‘P1917’ bayonet made in ‘WWII’ for the ‘P17 30-06’ rifle. It can be differentiated from the ‘P13’ which it resembles by the markings on the blade. This example is marked to the blade with ‘1917’ over a ‘W’ in a circle, meaning manufacture by ‘Winchester’ and consequently a scarcer model, as ‘Winchester’ only made 500,000, compared to ‘Remington’ who made over 2 million. The other side of the blade carries the flaming grenade over ‘U,S’ and bending mark. The grips are wooden with two grooves cut across them which is where it resembles the ‘P13’ and was interchangeable with the ‘P13’ except for the ‘P17’ rifle being 30.06 instead of the British .303. The scabbard is good with leather, metalwork and stitching in good order *see images* is the standard American ‘P17’ version. These bayonets were often issued to the Home guard in ‘WWII’.

WWII Dated U.S. M1905E1/M1 1943 Bayonet and Scabbard for the Garand Rifle. 20821:6. - 20821:6.
This is a nice M1905E1/M1 1943 bayonet that has been cut down from a M1905/M1942 bayonet. This occurred from August 1942 when it was discovered that the M1925 and M1942 bayonets were too long, especially for jungle fighting. The first bayonets merely had cut down blades which are readily identifiable by the fullers which run down to the point. Later bayonets had a new blade with standard fullers. This example has a cut down blade marked to the ricasso with A.F.H. (Union Fork and Hoe Company of Geneva, Ohio) U.S. and a Flaming Grenade (Frankford Arsenal) and 1942. The scabbard is a standard M3 green plastic with a metal throat stamped with U.S. within a flaming grenade. See ‘The Bayonet Book by Watts & White pages 412 & 436. The price includes UK delivery. 20821:6. (USA & Knife Bayonets)
