US WWII M1905/42 Garand Bayonet, SA 1908 Modified, Very Clean

Original era manufacture. A very clean example of a bayonet which was modified, cut-down during the early days of WWII. Originally produced with a 16 inch blade by Springfield Armory in 1908,  it was then cut-down to its present 10 inch length, given a bowie point, parkerized finish and placed in this WWII era plastic scabbard.The blade retains most of its original parkerized finish, with a clipped, Bowie-style point. Sound but used wooden grips with a period number in white paint on the reverse grip plate. Worn original finish to the plastic scabbard.
