Got a cool gift today!

1944 dated M1 Carbine bayonet in absolutely mint condition. Free is good!

 

[Mudflap]

Nice one too. Should clean up well. Free! Better yet.

Free is good. I'm keeping it. My dad and uncles were in WWII, so very nice.

I had one as a kid , my dad used to take me to Potomac Arms in Alex Va as a small boy . I was fascinated by all the guns ,knives and such. they even had heavy artillery out in the parking lot. on one such trip he bought me a Bayonet just like yours. the thing I remember so well even after 50+ years is the smell , that thing had a pretty bad smell to it.

I often wonder what ever happened to the Bayonet I was so proud to own.
Does yours have a funky musty grease smell to it?

 

[smokeythecat]

Yes but very faint.

Very nice, congrats!

 

[smokeythecat]

Thanks. I like it due to the fact I had a lot of close relatives in the war. They are all gone now. Only one relative left that was alive back then, my aunt who is 105.

That is one nice gift. You are one fortunate man.
