Original M1 Garand Bayonet, Grade 2

I was honestly surprised by the condition for a Grade 2—the bluing is worn in all the right places, and the wooden grips have that gritty, honest feel you only get from real surplus. It slid onto my Garand's lug with zero wobble, which is exactly what I wanted for display.

The blade has that authentic surplus heft, and the parkerized finish shows just enough wear to feel like the real deal. Even the wooden grips feel solid and period-correct, which is what I wanted for my collection.

The locking lug engages with a satisfying click, and the blade has that honest wear you want from a real surplus piece. It mounts solidly on my rifle and feels like it's got decades of stories behind it.
