Hi there,
here I would like to show you a new M4 from Camillus from the 1953 contract.
This new edition of the M4 was the last with the leather handle in 1953.
A distinguishing feature is the lying X on the head plate, the black lacquered top of the head plate, the missing "flaming bomb" and the modified strong crossguard with the round corners to avoid stress breaks.
The grip leather is impregnated and therefore has no plastic placeholders at the top and bottom. The leather is processed quite roughly.
The Bayonet is in a sheath of the manufacturer Victory Plastic Division of the Beckwith Corporation - VPCO.
This sheath comes from the 1953 contract with this manufacturer.
So a suitable set.
As early as 1954, the manufacturer Turner manufactured the M4 with plastic handle scales.
From the 1990s, Camillus relaunched the M4. It is easy to distinguish between the standing X on the headstock and a different manufacturer logo.
