Bayonet US Military M5 Bayonet w/ M8A1 Scabbard This is a 1950's Era US Military Model M5 Bayonet with an original M8A1 scabbard. The M5 bayonet has a 6.75" blade, and overall length is 11.5". Weight is 11½ ounces. The blade has one side sharpened for its full length and three inches of the other side are sharpened. There is a relatively large push button release to deal with removal while wearing gloves. The stud on the bayonet cross guard fits the gas cylinder lock screw under the M1 barrel. Locking grooves attach to the bayonet lug on the rifle. The M5 fits only the M1 and does not interchange with any other firearms. The grips are checkered black molded plastic and all metal parts are a dark gray parkerized finish. There are no markings on the blade. The manufacturer name or initials and "US M5" (or other model) will be found stamped under the cross guard. Manufacturers included Aerial Cutlery, Jones & Dickinson Tool, Imperial Knife, Utica Cutlery, and Columbus Milpar & Mfg. The metal scabbard and canvas frog are in very good condition for their age.
