    Actually one M5A1 is Milpar Col and the other one is Imperial.
    I could also find and reserved an M1icon 10" with M7 scabbard and one M9.
    I think they will be with me in one month hopefully 'cause of the long burocracy in Italyicon : bayos are considered to be arms and must be registered and need special procedural for ownership transfer.

    Yes, sad but true.
    I think this happens only in Italyicon as it is with swords and any other "tool" like this which has a double hedge.
    Every bayo must come with a document stating the previous ownership, without this it will be considered to be illegal here.
    That's why I can't buy them in USAicon without asking first a special authorization to Police departmente with long burocracy.

    Here some more photos.

    "1942" UFH bayo cut to 10" blade and its M7 scabbard





    ----------------

    M5A1 Milpar bayo and its M8A1 scabbard





    ----------------

    M7 Milpar Col bayo and its M8A1 scabbard for M16icon/AR15 rifle

    The military pouch brings the date of Sep. 1958
    I bought it when I was 13 years old in 1974 in a small used items market in Milan where also military staff were sold.

    you have a nice assortment of bayonets in your collection , the scabord you have for your cut down M1905E1 is a cutdown M3A1 and very proper as a set , as well as your 44 rifle

    adding a nice M6 and M9 should round out the newer end , the M10 scabord would be fine for a late M7 but the M8A1 would be good for the VN era M7 ,

    now you need to move backward to the 16" M1905s with that assortment of scabords , then the M1917s and their scabords and M1892s and those assorted scabbords ,

    Hello A square 10.
    Thanks for your suggestions.
    You have there a fantastic bayonets collections ! Amazing, congratulations.

    It will be really hard for me to find in Italyicon older bayos.
    For a Springfield 1903 WWI stated in good conditions I have been requested $ 400
    armi
    and I wonder wheter it is original in all its parts including its scabbard ...

    After a few searching I could find at ebay the stock with handguards for my M1icon Garand of '54.
    The stock is original Springfield Armory and seems it has never been restored and it brings the signs of the time, lots of dings etc etc.

    According to this web-site it should be same age of my M1 Garand :
    S/N 4,320,000-6,099,905 June 1953-June 1957
    Department of Defense Acceptance Stamp (Eagle with 3 stars) .50" by .50". Other stamp used on the stocks was the circled 'P' proof mark (with serifs) on the pistol grip.

    Here are some photos

    Anyway it is a reproduction made maybe in Pakistan, its skin leather smells terribly.
