Scarce U.S. 1943 Dated M3 Bayonet By Camillus, Complete With Its M6 1943 Dated Scabbard By MILSCO. Sn - 20162 Bayonets

This is a superb and original American 1943 dated M3 bayonet with its original M6 scabbard. This M3 fighting knife was made by Camilus and is dated 1943 which is also marked on the blade. These blade marked knives were only made for approximately 6 months before the markings were moved to the crossguard. The stamped markings on the blade were thought to weaken the blades in service. The M3 bayonet is contained in its original M6 leather scabbard made by MILSCO and is also dated 1943. The bayonets pommel is stamped with the flaming grenade stamp. The bayonet has the usual leather washer grip which is tight with no movement. This bayonet is a nice complete and rare to find combination of a blade marked and dated M3 knife bayonet in its rare matching M6 leather scabbard. See M.H.Cole, U.S Military Knives.
