Original M1 Garand Bayonet, Grade 3

The parkerized finish shows honest wear that fits the Grade 3 rating perfectly, and the wooden grips have that solid, old-military feel you can't fake. It's clearly an original piece, not a reproduction, which is exactly what I was hoping for to round out my collection.

The parkerized finish shows honest wear from decades of service, which is exactly what I wanted for my collection. The blade locks into the M1 snugly and the markings are still crisp despite the Grade 3 condition.

Pulled the trigger on this Grade 3 and was pleasantly surprised—the original military-issue markings are still crisp, and the wear on the parkerizing gives it that honest, been-there character you can't fake. It fits my M1 like it was made for it, because it was. Solid chunk of history for the price
