WW2 US M7 Bayonet With M8 Scabbard

The WW2 US M7 Bayonet with M8 Scabbard is an edged weapon designed for use with the M1 Carbine, a standard-issue firearm for U.S. military forces during World War II. The M7 bayonet features a 6.75-inch carbon steel blade with a spear point profile. Its handle is composed of molded black plastic grips, secured with two rivets to a full tang construction. This bayonet attaches securely to the carbine via a release mechanism located on the pommel. The included M8 scabbard is made of fiberglass with a steel throat and features a canvas web belt loop for ease of carrying. The M8 scabbard was the standard sheath issued alongside the M7 bayonet during the later years of the war. Collectors value authentic M7 bayonets for their association with the M1 Carbine and their role in American military history. This item reflects the standard equipment issued to U.S. troops during the conflict.
