    Default Bayonet M7 - Vietnam Era - "Delta Pig Sticker"

    Hello,

    Here is another M7 bayonet, which I got from a Vietnam veteran, former member of the 1st Cav Division.

    It is an M7 from the manufacturer Bauer Ordnace Corp. (BOC), which produced between 1968 and 1970.

    The blade was unofficially unauthorized, which is said to have happened several times with this unit.
    In collectors' circles this modification is called "Delta Pig Sticker" because of the blade shape of a pig sticker knife.

    The blade and handle were painted black, most of which has already fallen off.

    The Scabbard is a piece by PWH = Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind, which has been producing since 1965.

    That's interesting. Was there any particular reason you know for modifying the bayonet in this way?

    Hello,

    there was probably no practical reason.
    Served only as a kind of distinguishing feature from other units.
