    Bowie Point Cut Down Garand Bayonet

    Springfield 1918 bayonet cut down to 10" by American Fork and Hoe during WWII. Officially the M1905E1 bayonet, same designation as the spear tip cut down.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Cut-down M1905 bayonets were carried on the books as "M1icon" bayonets. Their cut-down M3 scabbards were carried as "M7" scabbards. The term M1905E1 covered only the test items, not the production ones. Collectors, however, like to call them M1905E1. Both the bayonet blade and the scabbard throat were marked at conversion.

    These used to be everywhere but now are gone into collections. I had one of course and later a nice Onida with brown scales...also a RIA from about 1920 with walnut scales. Both had the correct cut down M3 crimped mouth scabbard too. All long gone. Pic of the scabbard mouth I speak of...

    Of course we had to have the spear point and bowie to complete things and the variations of the cut downs. What a pile that made for.
