U.S WW1 REMINGTON M 1917 BAYONET /SCABBARD --- US BOMB PROOFED

Description

A
UNIQUE 1917
U.S. MARKED AND ORDNANCE BOMB STAMPED
SWORD BAYONET - Typical Bayonet being over 100 years old.
I leave them
orginal
and do not polish the metal - a person could polish, but I do not.  - These Bayonets have a unique history. This is an exceptionaly nice WW1 US enfield Bayonet set.
Please see pictures to evaluate the condition of the bayonet set
-
Please Note:
They were used by the USA during WW1 - during WW11 they were supplied to the UK and the UK re-conditioned most of them and replaced the wooden grips on them in many cases. Many times the UK used 1907 British Enfield wooden grips on the 1917s and individual soldiers added wood groves on them in some cases.  Note also that the UK used 1907 scabbards on the 1917s - since they would then interchange and worked with their personal equipment belts for WW11 Issue. This is one of the British re-issued bayonet sets. This baby has it all - History, ( Two World Wars  - also Remington Manufacture). One from my personal collection. These bayonets have a history in two World Wars.
Please Note:  This is one of the 1917s provided to England during WWII lend lease. The British replaced the 1917 grips on many with Enfield British 1907 wood grips, in many cases the soldiers carved their own crude groves into the 1907 wood grips . This US Enfield Bayonet set was never modified by the British 1907 US bayonets and the British Enfield Bayonets wood handles were very similar as were the bayonets themselves
.
These are genuine US 1917s that the British modified
during  world war II ( This bayonet set came from England, but it was one of the very few wood handles not modified by the British during WW11.
Please examine the pictures to appreciate this unique bayonet and evaluate its condition.
These are Genuine 1917 US issued 1917 Enfield Bayonets that were provided to the UK as Lend Lease during WWII for 1914 English Enfields and Lease provided 1917s from the USA. Many were re-conditioned by the UK.
This is a US Issue Bayonet - note the US and US Bomb stamp on the blade.
The Bayonet in the picture is the bayonet that you are buying!
That eliminates unwanted surprises. I SUSPECT THESE WERE LEND LEASE FROM WW11 - THAT WERE MADE IN WW1. DATES AND US ORDNANCE MARKINGS - THEY WERE ORGINALLY MADE FOR THE US ARMY 1917 ENFIELDS FOR US ISSUE IN WW1 - ALTHOUGH THEY WILL FIT BRITISH MODEL 1913 AND
1914 ENFIELD RIFLES
ACCORDING TO ADVANCE
COLLECTORS AND THE US ISSUE MILITARY SHOTGUNS WITH BAYONET ATTACHMENT. THESE WERE ISSUED WITH BRITISH SCABBARDS - SO THAT MAKES ME THINK THEY WERE LENDLEASE. MANY WW1 US WEAPONS WERE SUPPLIED TO OUR ENGLISH ALLIES AT THE BEGINNING OF WW11 AND A LOT OF THEM WERE 1917 ENFIELDS - SO THE 1917 ENFIELDS WITH BRITISH ISSUE SCABBARDS MAKE PERFECT SENSE - THESE CAME FROM A MILITARY ARSENAL - SO THEY HAVEN'T BEEN MONKEYED WITH by Civilian INDIVIDUALS. WHATEVER THEIR PAST HISTORY -
THESE ARE VERY UNIQUE AND VERY COLLECTABLE AND STEEPED WITH HISTORY.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A
GENUINE U.S. ISSUE BAYONET
- RE-ISSUED TO THE UK.
THIS IS NOT A FAKE , COPY OR PHONY.
THIS IS THE GENUINE ITEM!!
These unique Bayonets were also used by the US Forces for the famous US Issued Winchester Trench Shotguns
!
Note: The blade has not been sharpened since leaving the Gov't Arsenal .
Bayonet buttons for attaching to rifles are always checked and work fine!
