    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 Danishicon 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.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    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".
