Original U.S. WWII M4 Bayonet for the M1 Carbine by CASE with M8A1 Scabbard by Victory Plastics
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice genuine WWII U.S. Army M4 Carbine bayonet fighting knife, with an original M8A1 scabbard. Nicely marked U.S. M4 / CASE on the blade side of hand guard for the desirable maker, W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. of Bradford, PA.. On the underside of the guard is the U.S. Ordnance "Flaming Bomb", indicating WWII production. The blade is in good condition, showing light wear and sharpening, with much of the original finish still intact. There are no major dents or dings that we can see, and the crossguard, handle, and pommel are all tight to the blade.
The bayonet still has the original WWII issue leather washer grip, which is in heavily worn condition. These have not been changed out, and the leather in the grip shows heavy service wear. The pommel is held on by an unusual "semi cylindrical" peening pattern, used only by Case Cutlery, and no other makers. The flaming bomb under the crossguard proves this is definitely a WWII example, and not a later reissue.
It comes in a nice WWII issue OD green thermoplastic impregnated cotton fabric scabbard marked U.S. M8A1 / V.P. CO also offered in very good condition. There is some wear to the scabbard, but it still has almost all of the original green paint. The throat shows only slight wear to the finish, as shown. The canvas is in very good condition, and the snap still functions, with very little finish wear. The scabbard was manufactured by Victory Plastics, whose VP logo is on the back of the scabbard body.
Ready for further research and display with your WWII issue M1 Carbine!
