M1905

[Wineman]

Just got a M1905 dated 1920. Sheath is a M3 marked B-N. The grips are wood. The blade looks like it may have been sharpened and it has tiny nicks all along the length, like someone chopped wood with it. The deal was good. My sisters late husband had a trunk full of stuff and she gave it away to friend of our dad. Somehow I was able to get the bayonet back. It slips right on to a late 50's M1. The stud on a M1903a3 is really tight and I don't really want to force it. Been working on a nice M1903 DHT from 1919 but my friend keeps saying he wants to keep it a bit longer. Oh well... If anyone else knows where the tiny nicks come from, I would like to know.

It's been around since 1920 and been through countless soldier's issue....and kids sword fighting with it... And you need to attend the bayonet fighting course one day to see what takes place out there... Here's mine.

My bad Model of 1905. Pretty similar to yours BAR. I never thought about sword fighting as a kid. Lost a nice M4 Carbine bayo years ago, Camilus I believe. One day I had it and now years later where did it go? How do you post those thumbnail pics? I am on a business trip for a bit and may not get a chance to post for a week or so. It is nice to have one for every rifle. Still looking for a non repro Kar98k bayo but they all seem to be $$.

Compared to a 1905, K98 bayonets are dirt cheap if you just want a representative example. Lots of them on ebay less than $100.

How do you post those thumbnail pics?

The explanation is here somewhere...there's a whole thread explaining it. This should help... How do I upload pictures to my posts for storage on milsurps.com?
