-
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 / IMPERIAL on the blade side of hand guard for the desirable maker, Imperial Knife Co. of Rhode Island. The blade is in fair condition, showing light wear, with much of the original finish still intact. There are a few small nicks in the edge 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 good shape. These have not been changed out, and the leather in the grip shows heavy wear, and a bit of rounding. The pommel is held on by an unusual "semi cylindrical" peening pattern, used only by Case Cutlery, and no other makers.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 finish wear. The scabbard was manufactured by the Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind (PWH).Ready to display with your WWII issue M1 Carbine!Dimensions:Blade length: 6 3/4”Blade Style: Spear Point BayonetOverall length: 11 5/8”Crossguard: 2 5/8”Scabbard length: 7 1/4"
