This is the 10-inch M1 specimen, not a cut-down “M1942” version of the 16-inch blade M1905 bayonet. This is a superb quality manufacture bayonet with clean and crisp lines and about 99% of the original bluing remaining.

Original M7 composition scabbard is in very good condition with just some minor rust on the steel throat (cleanable). The throat is stamped USN MK1; underside plate is marked B2/9N.
