Excellent condition M1905 Bayonet produced by Springfield Armory in 1915. Complete with US Navy MK.I Scabbard, this bayonet exhibits excellent original finish with mostly only minor scuffs and wear consistent with period use. Blade is full length, un-sharpened, coming in at 16 inches. Marked on the ricasso to SA 1915 on one side and the serial number on the obverse. Scabbard is not serialized, as is correct. Lock mechanism works fine, muzzle ring easily sl...ips over either my M1 Garand or 1903. Grips are original wood, and while dark, have not been sanded and still show the "ribbed" texture common on these type grips. Scabbard is sturdy and complete, although it has a somewhat unpleasant smell from inside, a phenomenon I've encountered on more than a few of these; I believe it's something to do with either their construction or possibly a preservative grease.
Overall this is a very nice representation of an increasingly hard to find bayonet in excellent condition. Sold as is, please see all pictures and ask all questions before purchase.
