Garand Bayonet with HMAK & Crown question

I saw an auction listing for a bayonet described as having a rare "woodgrain scabbard" with a Crown and the letter HMAK stamped on the metal. The Bayonet is a US GI Bayonet. The scabbard does look wood grain But I think it is the fiberglass of the scabbard that malkes it look like that. I thought it was a Danish issue but then I pulled mine out and my Dane has a Crown with FKF. Can anybody enlighten me as to what the HMAK and Crown indicate? Thanks, Bob B.

Its Danish

Carl,
Thanks, as I mentioned that's what I thought, but needed confirmation.

Regards,

Bob B.

thats what it is and not all that uncommon , once you have all your US issued examples it makes a nice addition to your collection to pick up all of the foreign applications and there are a great number of them , these are some of the nicer versions , they made a really nice M4 too

I just checked and the current bid is up to $80 with 6 days left to go. Glad I got mine when they were $35! Oh yes, the Auction house hasn't updated the description after I sent the correct info. Still listed as "very rare early bayonet with extremely rare scabbard".

yup - buy the bayonet scabbord / not the story
