Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The Model of 1905 bayonet was made for the U.S. M1903 Springfield rifle.This designation was changed to Model 1905 in 1917, and then to M1905 in 1925, when the Army adopted the M designation nomenclature. The M1905 bayonet has 16 inch (40.6 cm) blade, and a 4-inch (10.1 cm) handle. The bayonet also fits the U.S. M1 Garand rifle. In 1943, a shorter 10 inch (25.4 cm) bladed version was produced with a black molded plastic handle, and designated the M1 bayonet.
In 1943, the U.S. Army decided to shorten the M1905 bayonet's blade to 10 inches (25.4 cm) and as many of the M1905 and M1942 bayonets as possible were recalled, their blades were cut down to size, and were reissued. These shortened M1905 bayonets were re-designated as M1905E1.The U.S. Army also introduced the new M1 Bayonet which was designed to be used with the M1 Garand rifle. The M1 bayonet's blade is 10 inches (25.4 cm) long and the handle is 4 inches (10.1 cm) long.
This fine example is an excellent first year of production with serial number 78783 and a ground Kinfe point, the grips were also updated at that time to the 1942 version.
