Got this from my father-in-law. Looks like it's stamped Springfield Armory, has an Armory stamp, and 1920 date stamp. Is it a shortened M1 Garand bayonet? There is a little grease on the knife but it looks pretty much new, the sheath has some crud on it. What's this thing worth?

1920 manufactured M1905 bayonet cut down during WWll for reissue. Your bayonet has the earlier clip point modification which was ultimately changed to the more commonly seen spear point. Clip pointed bayonets resembled Japanese bayonets so they switched it up.
It has an Ebay value of over $100, maybe $150. Do not sharpen it or dick with it in any way. |

Though my suspicious side has me wondering if it hasn't been refinished at some point. Then again, I'm not good at IDing the signs of a refinish job, either

WWI bayo's were unfinished plain steel.
I think the 1920's they were being blued at one point. All were generally parked later. The army let contracts to send their 16" bayonets in and have them shortened as mentioned, they were often stamped on the reverse with the remanufacturer's info. So you may have a SA bayonet and Oneida on the back indicating that it was Oneida Cutlery that cut it down, parkerized and likely put the bakelite handle scales on in replace of wood. |
