Original U.S. WWII M4 Bayonet by Camillus for the M1 Carbine with M8A1 Scabbard by Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a 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 heavy use, and sharpening after arsenal, with some nicking along the edges. The crossguard, handle, and pommel are all tight to the blade.
The bayonet still has most of the original WWII issue leather washer grip, but there is a plastic spacer under the crossguard now. 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 shows heavy wear, with 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.
It comes in a nice WWII issue OD green thermoplastic impregnated cotton fabric scabbard marked U.S. M8A1 / PWH., also in good condition. There is some wear to the scabbard, but it still has almost all of the original green paint. The throat shows slight wear and oxidation to the finish, as shown. The canvas is in very good condition, and the snap still functions, with extremely heavy wear and verdigris. The scabbard was manufactured by the Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind (PWH).
Ready to display with your WWII issue M1 Carbine!
