Here's an original pre WWI US Model 1905 Bayonet up for bids without reserve. It's marked "RIA 1912" with a flaming bomb insignia on one side of the base of the blade. The other side is marked "US" with the serial number 221676 stamped over "UC-MOD". This one was manufactured in 1912, there were about 22,000 of them produced that year. At some point in its history, the blade was cut down from its original 16 inches to 9 3/4 inches long. It appears to have been sharpened; there is no scabbard. The walnut grips appear to be original an in good shape. This bayonet is in as-found condition and will clean up some. The blade has no rust and does have some tiny nicks in the edge. It's been in forgotten storage in an old Western New York house for decades and is being offered here for the first time. It sells to the highest bidder regardless of final price. The winner adds postage.
