WWI US ARMY M1905 M1903 SPRINGFIELD WINCHESTER RIFLE BAYONET & CARRY SCABBARD: $167.96
WWI US ARMY M1905 M1903 SPRINGFIELD WINCHESTER RIFLE BAYONET & CARRY SCABBARDThe M-1905 Bayonet was adopted by the US military as a knife bayonet for the Model 1903 Rifle after it was determined necessary for the “modern” trench warfare of the early 1900s. Once the bayonet was officially adopted, production began at both the Springfield Armory and the Rock Island Arsenal. The Rock Island Arsenal produced just under 1/2 million total bayonets and this low run means originals are scarce today. Ours replicates an original issue 1906 (first year of production for RIA) of the famed bayonet expertly. The early bayonets had bright blades and blued hilts and were marked on the ricasso “RIA 1906”, which our replica faithfully shows. The M-1905 Bayonet is the core of many bayonet collections and are highly sought after, but they are extremely scarce today. Replicated using an original for authenticity and employing the same materials, this is a collector grade reproduction. Includes early spec scabbard of wood covered in canvas with metal throat and standard canvas Krag-style hanger. Overall: 21"Blade: 17-1/4" BRAND NEWFIELD GRADE REPRODUCTION
