Original Korean War / WW2 era M1 10″ blade bayonet for US M1 Garand Manufactured by American Fork & Hoe – marked A.F.H. / U.S. “flaming bomb” on ricasso. This is NOT a cut-down of the older, “long” 16″ blade M1905 bayonet. This M7 composition scabbard was manufactured in Greece in the late 1940th – early 1950th after WW2 under the US post-WW2 Military Assistance Program. Greece took part in the Korean War sending to battle The Greek Expeditionary Force (GEF) numbering approximately 5,000 troops. See a copy of the Korean War era Greek infantrymen VASILEIOS SAKARELIS with the Garand rifle / M1 bayonet (photo s for a reference only and is not included with this lot).
This M1 is in good condition for the type with just a few minor contact marks on the pommel. Bayonet release mechanism is tight and 100% functional. The bayonet is about 14″ / 35.5 cm overall; the blade is about 9-1/2″ / 24 cm. M7 composition scabbard is in great shape; no cracks or chips on the plastic, original paint; this M7 is in excellent overall condition. Overall, this WW2 era / Korean War AFH M1 bayonet is in 100% functional condition still; it is not cleaned or tampered with in any way, it is in 100% original “as is” condition. These are the actual photos; spent brass is not included with the bayonet 😉
