Description
Original Vietnam War era M7 bayonet manufactured circa 1969 by Bauer Ord Company (BOC). The M7 was first issued in 1964; it was originally designed for the M16 rifle but it will fit several later-produced US combat rifles, including the current M4 carbine.
This specimen is unused but it is in excellent overall condition. This M7 is about 11-3/4″ / 30 cm overall; parkerized blade is about 6-3/4″ / 17.2 cm long. The edge is very sharp still; the tip is intact; a couple of minor edge nicks are noted for accuracy. Ricasso is unmarked as intended; muzzle ring/guard is stamped US M7 on one side, BOC on the other. Black plastic handle grips are tight; bayonet release mechanism is excellent and 100% functional; all handle parts are solid with no play. Original M8A1 composition scabbard was made by Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind (PWH stamp on the throat) in the late 1960th-early 1970th. The scabbard is unused as well; unpainted “gun-gray” steel throat is stamped USM8A1 / PWH on the front side. Web hanger is excellent with no typical oxidation around brass snaps and rivets.
This original Vietnam War BOC M7 bayonet and PWH M8A1 composition scabbard are in 100% serviceable condition still. Not cleaned or tampered with in any way, 100% original “as is” condition.
