WWII U.S. M4 M1 Carbine Bayonet - Imperial

Selling my 40+ year collection of military edged weapons. Want to avoid the less than patriotic pay site, if possible (you know the one).

This is an original WWII issue US M4 bayonet. It was designed for use with the M1 Carbine. This one is manufactured by Imperial and is Guard Marked. The blade is blued and original factory sharpened only. It has never been resharpened. It is beautiful, with only scabbard wear at the tip. Blade length is approximately 6 5/8" in length. The leather washer handle is in VG condition. The tang is staked with light patina.

The scabbard is an original USGI M8A1 marked PWH. It remains in VG+ original condition. I hs not been cleaned or restored in any way.

Please view photos. Additional photos, if requested. Ask about other WWII US & foreign Fighting Knives & Bayonets available.

Thanks for looking and your consideration. $275

R-135 (my inventory number)

Hi mario
Have tried a couple of times to reply. This site is unlike any I have used before?
At the moment I'm trying to find Australian marked and made military knives. I have a few in my collection now but they are rather hard to find these days. At the moment I have a bid in on a Greg Steel Sykes fairbane made in Melbourne. Would love to see your collection it sounds quite extensive.
Thanks will let you know how the auction goes
Regards Ray
