Description: Original WW2 era M1905 bayonet manufactured in 1942 by the American Fork & Hoe; scarce uncut 16″-blade specimen. This is a well-made bayonet with crisp lines; ricasso is sharply stamped AFH / US “flaming bomb”/ 1942 on one side. It is used but it is in great overall condition for the type; all parts are tight, the edge is very sharp still; the tip is intact. No typical ding marks on the blade’s spine or on the pommel; no chips or cracks on black plastic handle grips; all handle parts are tight. The scabbard/bayonet release mechanism is 100% functional. The bayonet is about 20-1/2″ / 52 cm overall; the blade is about 15-7/8″ / 40.5 cm. Original “long” composition scabbard with MK1-marked steel throat is in very good condition; some surface rust on the metal throat is noted for accuracy.

(marked AFH on ricasso); scarce uncut 16″-blade specimen. A scarce type in general – AFH manufactured a relatively small number of 350,00 M1905s during he war but by the early spring of the 1943 most of the original M1905 bayonets were cut-down to 10-inch blade and were re-furbished as the “short pattern” M1 bayonets. This is a well-made bayonet with crisp lines and a well-defined edge; ricasso is sharply stamped AFH / US “flaming bomb”/ 1942 on one side. The bayonet is used but it is in great overall condition for the type – all parts are tight, the edge is very sharp still; the tip is intact. No typical ding marks on the blade’s spine or on the pommel; black plastic handle grips are in great condition with no chips or cracks; all handle parts are tight with no play. The scabbard/bayonet release mechanism is excellent and 100% functional. The bayonet is about 20-1/2″ / 52 cm overall; the blade is about 15-7/8″ / 40.5 cm. Original “long” composition scabbard with MK1-marked steel throat is in very good condition. The US War Department made sure that nothing was wasted during production; all suitable parts were used, including the unused quantity of scabbard parts intended for training bayonets and discontinued USN MK1 Utility Knife. The underside plate is marked B2/9N; steel throat is marked USN / MK 1; some surface rust on the metal throat is noted for accuracy. Still, this is a desirable and highly collectible WW2 era manufacture uncut M1905; this type is scarce this nice.
