Mistake or fake? Unusual Stampings on M5A1 Bayonet, What gives?
Article about: So I picked up this M5A1 Bayonet at a gun show this past weekend. It is a MILPAR COL with out the DAS. So Ive been researching and discovered that this one could have been made on a contract

So, nobody has anything to add at all? Very Strange.

I appreciate that the member who posted this hasn't been active since 2015 however I came across this post whilst researching a M5 bayonet and happened to have the answer at hand.
As per Bayo Points 5 Columbus Milpar sold off their machinery and remaining parts to a commercial surplus company probably Century Arms who assembled bayonets using the parts and when they ran out they made their own parts or used other parts from M5A1, M6 and M7 bayonets to make fantasy items.
Commercial made bayonet with Century Arms made guard.
