My only problrem is that the grips seem to stick out a LOT at the pommel .Also the pins that hold the cross guard on are not flush with the cross guard. HMMMMMM
BUT the bursting Bomb on the blade is the type used by Union Fork and Hoe.
Here is a article the the Garand Collectors did back in 2010.

Nice one Mate I'm kinda after one but it's a low priority for me so no competition from me
Cheers! I've been looking for one for a little while - They are not cheap WWII bayonets so I really don't want to get burnt!
Many thanks for all interest and assistance here!
Best regards,
Chris

Great link but I haven't looked there closely, Shipping from USA now a days is too crazy for me, cheaper to ship in from Europe or UK!?! but when it comes to bayos I keep it local, plenty here and it avoids the customs delays/troubles

CMP is where We in the States buy our M1 Garands and ammo to feed them. I understand the rest of the BS you would have to go through could be a a PIA.
Just throwing that line out!!!!

Couldn't agree more! I still purchase a lot of my M1 helmets from the States, these cost a fortune to ship but is still normally the best option as most Aussie sellers think their M1 is worth a fortune!
Kind regards,
Chris

Be aware that this scabbard was originally made as a M3 and has been factory shortened to M7. This would have been done during WW2. While I was looking for mine I wanted an unaltered M7. It might not worry you but just a point to look out for.

I didn't end up bidding - I want to be 100% on it when I do.
It sold for $115 AUS. Not a bad price if all original but it didn't get much attention.
Many thanks for all assistance here
