Betaalwijzes

In 1942, the Cavalry Board recommended experimenting with a shorter blade of 10 inches. M1905 bayonets were cut down to 10 inches and designated M1905E1. 16-inch M3 scabbards were also shortened to M7 length. The shorter blade was found to be highly satisfactory and was adopted as standard in early 1943, designated Bayonet M1.

This example was made in 1944 by the Union Fork & Hoe Co., Columbus, OH.

The M1 bayonet was manufactured new with a 10-inch blade and black plastic grips. The M7 scabbard was manufactured new for the 10-inch bayonet.
