WT marked Garand bayos=distinctive 2 tone grips. Cutdown= about4-500, 16"=6-700. I have 2 on display. The ones in the canvas scabbard are 1917 bolos issued to machine gunners in WW1. The rest are mostly WW11

more nice items. I need to hand out with you and usnmars.

When I was in basic we were told (by Drill Corporal Kelly IIRC) that if our bayonet should stick in our target to fire a round and let the recoil help pull it out. I asked "if I've got ammo in my rifle why am I using a bayonet?". I paid for that question. I did go on to redeem myself by splitting two M14 stocks during bayonet training and winning the company pugil stick competition.

Those look great Dave!

Just for the record..i also won....oh who am I kidding...I got my ass handed to me in pugil stick...LOL
