1905 E1 bayonet markings

[hotel71b]

I have an Oneida LTD beak point 10" with AFH (American Fork and Hoe) stamped on the spine between the bakelite grips. It appears full tang. Did AFH get Oneida's stock after the contract was lost in 43? Any insight please.

Those marks just indicate who did the cut down conversion.

So AFH cut down a 16" Oneida 1905? Neat. Thank you much.

Yes, I have a 1905 made in 1920 cut down by AFH in 43 or so. Quite common.

Thanks Jim. Got this and an M2 flare gun from a friends barn pick the other day. Both in really fantastic shape.
