To bad these are not from WW2. WW2 scabbards are marked USM8 and the bayonets are not 1905 10 or 16 inch. Of course originals would be more expensive.
Looks like a nice Union-Fork & Hoe.
Looking gud!
Thanks for all the replys and info. I've learned a lot by starting this topic. I've done more inspection and found all marked parts are SA. Since only a stock marking of RRAD and no leg mark. One...
Thanks Bill, I understand now.
Would a cotton webb sling marked MRT April 1964 be correct for the M14? Thanks in advance for info.
Nice score....
Very nice find......

Very nice mother of pearl on those grips....... You can not find grips like that anymore.
Good BUY.......

I'm drooling on my key board..... great find.
Thanks for the info.....
What specific stamps would be on a stock that was rearsnal-overhauled at an armory?
Nice going.... should be very tasty.
Congrats.... a nice find.
Picked this up a while back. Finally had time to go over with fine tooth comb and it is an all correct 1943. Lucked out on this one. Even came with a correct 1943 Union Fork & Hoe 16 inch bayonet and...
