Description: Seller Information: My uncle served in Vietnam (1st Bn 8th Cav Reg, 1st Air Cav Div, '67-68) and built quite a collection while he was alive. I'm in the process of helping it get out of storage and into the hands of other people that would appreciate it as much as he did. Disclaimer: I'm doing the best I can with these listing descriptions. If he were still alive, this would be 4x as long and 100.0% accurate. I'm trying my best. If something seems inaccurate or you have any questions, please message me. This listing features an authentic U.S. M5A1 bayonet manufactured by Milpar Col, paired with an M8A1 scabbard marked "PWH". This bayonet and scabbard set is a great collectible piece of U.S. military surplus, designed for the M1 Garand rifle and commonly issued during the Korean War era.Features:Bayonet Type: U.S. M5A1 BayonetBayonet Markings: "U.S. M5A1" and "Milpar Col" stamped on the guardScabbard Type: M8A1 scabbardScabbard Markings: "PWH" and "US M8A1" on the throatEra: Post-WWII, Korean War eraBlade Length: Approximately 6.75 inchesOverall Length: Approximately 11.5 inchesMaterials:Bayonet: High-carbon steel blade with a solid plastic handle featuring grooves for gripScabbard: Fiberglass body with a metal throat for secure retentionCondition: Good condition with light wear consistent with age. The blade is intact and retains its sharp edge, while the handle shows minor signs of use. The scabbard has some light scuffing but remains fully functional, with clear "PWH" and "US M8A1" markings.Historical Significance:The U.S. M5A1 bayonet, manufactured by Milpar Col, was specifically designed for the M1 Garand rifle, featuring a unique latch mechanism instead of a barrel ring. The accompanying M8A1 scabbard, marked "PWH" (Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind), reflects the military’s partnership with organizations that produced durable and functional equipment. This set is a fine example of mid-20th-century U.S. military design and ingenuity.Note:Price is for one bayonet and one scabbard. Both are pictured. You'll receive one of them.
