This is an original M5-1 bayonet designed specifically for the M1 Garand rifle, manufactured by J&D Tool Co. The bayonet features a solid design without a barrel ring, employing a locking mechanism tailored for the Garand’s gas plug. Both the blade and handle show expected wear from use, but the markings are well-preserved, enhancing its collectible value.
