M1 Garand Bayonet 1917 RIA w/Scabbard 10" "Bowie" Point WWII MODIFIED

Early Original Rock Island Arsenal "RIA" M1905 M1 Garand Bayonet with "Bowie Cut" tip on blade and E-US marked Scabbard. Blade has RIA and Ordnance flaming cannonball, 1917 dated on one side, reverse has US and a ser#. This was originally a M1905 16" bayonet that was cut down to 10" as many of the longer original bayonets were modified this way in WWII when the 10" bayonet became the standard length. You can tell these modified bayonets by the blood groove which extends to the tip. Blade has excellent original finish and there are NO serial numbers on hilt. One pictured available. *Note "Bowie" Tipped bayonets are the earliest modified bayonets done during the war and the Bowie tip was stopped soon after since these resembled Japanese style bayonets. Interesting factoid about why they changed the style. Click on images for larger view of Actual bayonet. Select UPS for shipping option for Bayonets.
