Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very good condition genuine WWII U.S. Army M4 Carbine bayonet fighting knife, with an original M8A1 scabbard. Nicely marked U.S. M4 / CAMILLUS on the blade side of the hand guard. The guard is the narrow version and not the post war wide version. The blade is in good condition, showing faithful use, and sharpening after arsenal. The crossguard, handle, and pommel are all tight to the blade.
The bayonet still has the original WWII issue leather washer grip. The pommel is held on by the correct peened over tang with the lovely “starburst” peen pattern on the end of the tang. The grip does not show much wear, just a bit of drying out from decades of storage. The pommel locking mechanism is fully functional and moves easily. An excellent example of a WWII M4 bayonet.
The original scabbard is marked U.S. M8A1 / VIZ and is in very good condition with no major defects to note. The canvas is very good, with just a bit of dirt and staining, and there is very little wear and light scratching on the scabbard shell. The metal finish is somewhat oxidized and worn, but looks great. It was manufactured by Viz Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia, PA.
A very nice example of a late-war M4 knife, ready to add to your WWII edged weapon collection!
