This bayonet was captured during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 when the Coalition forces liberated Kuwait and pushed Saddams military back across the border. I received this from a veteran who participated in the push and collected this as with other military gear off the Iraqi forces that was retreat and surrendered. The bayonet has bakelite grips and a metal scabbard. The blade has an insulator wrapped around the scabbard with what appears to be a name and unit marking has been written on it as with a bit of paracord tied to it. There is a bit of damage to it but considering where it came from and how it got collected its understandable.
