In the 1960s, due to the demand for a bayonet to fit the "trench" shotguns, two contractors again produced the Model 1917 bayonet (now officially designated the M1917). This bayonet was made by General Cutlery of Fremont,OH. The grips are a sharply diamond checkered black plastic, and the finish is a medium to dark gray fairly smooth Parkerizing. The guard is held to the blade by two roll pins rather than being brazed on as was the earlier production. The pommel is brazed to the tang. The catch thumb piece is held to the catch by a transverse roll pin instead of being screwed on as was the case in the WW1 production. 16 1/2" blade length. Overall length 21 1/2". On one side of the guard is marked US M1917 and on the other is GEN CUT. NOTE: WE DO HAVE THE SCABBARD AS PICTURED ANY LONGER. The scabbord's we have left have no markings on it. In used, very good condition. You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this item.
