Vietnam era M1917 bayonet and scabbard questions?
Will a 1960s Vietnam era Model 1917 bayonet fit into a plastic scabbard marked "USN MK1" that is said to be intended for the long Gerand bayonet, please? While I'm fully aware that a M1917 bayonet will fit into a British 1907 scabbard I'm not very familiar with the interchangeability between the various U.S. scabbards. My current understanding is that the "officially correct" scabbard for this bayonet should be marked with M1917 and be of green plastic construction. I'm sort of under the impression that some of the U.S. scabbards are interchangeable even if this results in the scabbard markings being wrong but I'm unclear which are and which are not. Obviously I do not wish to purchase a scabbard that will not fit a M1917 bayonet. Thanks for any information. :thup:
