We have made no attempts to clean this item. It contains small amounts of dust & dirt from where it was found among other army war items. Fully functional and works perfectly. Locking spring mechanism is in great shape. Belt attachment swivels and works perfect without any bending or damage to the metal. Very nice artifact from the war. This M 1 Garand bayonet is a rare find for collectors of militaria. Made by American Fork Hoe, it was used during World War II and is an original piece. The bayonet has a 10 blade and comes with a flaming ball scabbard. It’s a great addition to any collection of edged weapons. The bayonet’s country of origin is the United States, and it’s a featured refinement of WW2 bayonets. It’s in excellent condition and a perfect representation of the weapons used during the war. This piece is a must-have for any serious collector of WW2 militaria.
