Original era manufacture. AWWI production bayonet with an alloy grip, one of the souvenirs brought home by Sergeant H. Hederer, HQ Battery, 5th Infantry Division, Europe Campaign 1944-45. The blade has been shortened to 13 inch length, with a proper matching length scabbard. Fortunately the hooked guard was not removed in the process. The bayonet is quite clean, however there are numerous dents in the scabbard body, non-matching.
