    Well, I know it's an M1 Garand bayonet. :rolleyes:

    I was talking to my cousin last night and saw this sitting in the garage. I asked if it was an M1 Bayonet and he said he didn't know, but he said I could have it :D
    Now, there is no date stamp on it, but I found a serial number and manufacturing stamps. I did a little research and found out that the U.F.H. stamped above the handle was from a place in NY called Union Fork & Hoe. I was hoping you guys could help me figure out some more details/history on the thing.
    Thanks!:thumbsup:

    The serial number on there is:
    C-64935-UF

    Apologies for the crappy pictures, they're from my phone :rolleyes:
    (And apologies for the dirt in the thing, haven't had a chance to clean it out yet)

    If the blood groove goes to the end, it's a 16" 1942 cut down to 10". If not, it'a a 1943 made with a 10" blade in the first place

    Yea it's an original 10"


    Inigoes, noticed something interesting

    This one has no period after H in "U.F.H."
    Mine has it. Think that's anything or just an inconsequential detail?
