RARE: WWI AEF US Army/USMC M1905 Bayonet Marked SA w/Ordnance Bomb 1908 w/M1905 2nd Pattern Leather Scabbard for M1903 Springfield Rifle. This bayonet is marked SA (Springfield Aresenal) w/ordnance bomb 1908 on one side, the other side is marked US 280369. This is a third year issued bayonet.

The Bayonet is used, see photo's for Condition, original bright finish. NO evidence of sharpening on the blade. The markings are crips and easy to read. The walnut grips are in average condition.

The scabbard is a Original M1905 2nd Pattern Leather Scabbard, with the Krag-Style Belt Hook. This scabbard is in Nice Condition and is Extremely RARE. It has not been modified, as most of these were.

It has the original marking RIA 1909 H. No tears in the leather.

It is still soft and supple. The tip of the scabbard and the seams are all intact and not spliting, as is common on these scabbards. With the introduction of the M1910 Pistol/Utility Belts using the M1910 belt hook system, it was deceided to modify the existing stock of M1905 Scabbard by removing the Krag-style wire hook and replacing it with the M1910 Belt Hook. Unmodified versions of the Scabbard are Very Scarce.

All M1905 Leather Scabbards, original and/or modified, are VERY RARE and desirable. This bayonet will fit the M1903/A3 Springfield Rifles and the M1 Garand Rifle. Cole's book "US Military Knives, Bayonets, and Machetes" page #40. For all you collectors of the M1903 Springfield, M1917 Enfield, M1 Garand, M1942 Johnson, M1 Carbine and other WWII Battle Rifles.
