WW2 US M4 PAL Bayonet With Scabbard

The WW2 US M4 PAL Bayonet with Scabbard is a standard-issue edged weapon designed for the M1 Carbine, used extensively by American forces during the Second World War. Manufactured by the Pennsylvania-based PAL Blade and Tool Company, the M4 bayonet features a 6.75-inch blade, constructed from high-carbon steel. Its handle is composed of stacked leather washers, providing a secure grip in various field conditions. The crossguard is stamped with “PAL,” indicating the manufacturer, and “US M4” as the model designation. The included scabbard is typically the M8 or M8A1 model, made from olive drab fiberglass with a steel throat and belt attachment for ease of carry. The M4 bayonet reflects advancements in combat gear, merging knife and bayonet functionality for infantry soldiers. Its design and materials represent wartime production standards and the logistical considerations of mid-20th-century military equipment.
