Original U.S. WWII Era M1 10” Bayonet - Serial Numbered on Crossguard - No Ricasso Markings or Scabbards Stencils [1] In 1943Original Items. Very Few Available. We are offering a small selection of M1 10 Bayonets without their scabbards, in fair service worn condition. These examples are all void of any ricasso markings, and are only marked on the crossguard with a serial number. These examples are almost certainly Post WWII Manufacture, but are identical to those of WWII issues. Some examples have been overpainted black, while others retain some of their original finish.
