<p>Original items: Only One Available. This is a good example of the rare and hard to find U.S. M1917 Enfield bayonet, in good condition. It comes complete with its original issue leather scabbard, which is also in good condition. Bayonets by Remington are particularly hard to find, and therefore more desirable.</p> <p>The M1917 bayonet was originally designed to be used with the US M1917 Enfield .30 caliber rifle, as well as with the seven different U.S. trench shotguns. The blade is 17 inches (43.18 cm) long. The M1917 Enfield was the U.S. Version of the British P-14 rifle, and the bayonets used are identical, down to the double groove in the grips, used to differentiate the bayonets from the P-1907 for the SMLE rifle.</p> <p>This bayonet is in good condition, and is marked on the blade ricasso with date <strong>1918 </strong>over the <strong>Remington </strong>logo. The reverse ricasso is marked with the ordnance "<strong>Flaming Bomb</strong>" over <strong>U.S.</strong>, next to an <strong>Eagle </strong>proof mark. The blade is good, without much oxidation or discoloration as shown, and was sharpened at arsenal once or twice. The edge does not have any heavy nicks or damage. The handle finish has been worn almost bright from cleaning, and the wood of the grip is a bit service worn. The grip scales are excellent, with a great color but some scratches.</p> <p>The scabbard is in fair shape overall. The fittings have oxidized heavily, missing all of their paint, with an OD green finished leather body. It does have heavy wear from service, but it presents fine. It is stamped on the body<strong> JEWELL 1918</strong>.</p> <p>A great chance to pick up a rare bayonet with its original scabbard.

A sword bayonet design, the M1917 bayonet design was based on the British P1907 bayonet, which incorporated a long 17-inch blade. While designed primarily for the M1917 rifle the bayonet was fitted for use on all the "trench" shotguns at the time.</p> <p><br>The M1917 was used frequently during the several different Banana Wars. The U.S. continued to use the Word War I-made M1917 bayonets during World War II because of large stockpiles left over. The new Trench Guns being procured and issued were still designed to use the old M1917 bayonet.</p> <p><br>The bayonet was again called on during the Korean War for issue with the various Trench guns still in service.<br></p>
