This is a virtually mint example of a blade marked M3 bayonet. The blade marked bayonets were thought to weaken the blade and were only made for 6 months before markings were moved to the crossguard. This blade is marked ‘M3-UTICA’ and retains most of its original parkerised finish with only a minor mark to one edge. The leather washer grip is in perfect condition as are the crossguard and pommel. It is contained in its early ‘U.S. M8’ scabbard by ‘B.M. Co’ (Beckwith Manufacturing). A lovely example of an early M3 fighting knife. The price includes UK delivery. 204447:7.
