Original U.S. WWI & WWII M1905 Springfield 16 inch Rifle Bayonet Marked S.A. with M3 Scabbard - Dated 1917 Replica Non–Firing Pistols & Rifles which shows overall staining andOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a nice U. S. M1905 bayonet dated 1918, originally made during the late WWI period for the M1903 Springfield Rifle, which was then reissued in WWII for the M1 Garand Rifle. It is fitted with a WWII Issue M3 scabbard. The Garand was designed to take the same blade bayonet as the M1903 Springfield rifle, so at the beginning of the war they were issued with bayonets originally made for those rifles. Later in 1942
