| M1
Technical data : Total length : 349 mm Was used on : P1903 "Springfield"; M1 "Garand"
General information : In 1943, after a successful test with the M1905 E1 (the to 370mm shortened version of the initially 521mm long M1905 bayonet) the United States decided to start producing the M1 bayonet.The handle is identical to the M1905 and its derivates whereas the blade has the same length of the M1905 E1 but with a different fuller. As the M1905 E1 is a cut-down, the fuller continues to the tip where only about ¾ of the blade of the M1 is fullered Other than the M1905 (and its derivates) the blued or parkerized blade of the M1 is only stamped with the manufacturers initials, “US” and the so-called “flaming onion” (ordnance mark). The bayonet featured a handle made of black composite and came with a fiberglass scabbard. Known makers : UFH (Union Fork and Hoe) Images.
