U.S. Springfield 1905 Bayonet with Cloth Bound Scabbard. Beautiful reproduction of the Springfield 1905 bayonet. This is a new and improved version that we had made. Blade has been carefully honed for sharpness. Blade steel is 8Cr14MoV. Scabbard is wood wrapped in canvas with a leather tip.
The M1905 bayonet was produced from 1906 to 1922 by Springfield Armory and Rock Island Arsenal. The blade and handle frame were forged as a single piece with a wide, square-shaped fuller, and the crossguard was pinned to this assembly through two holes with cone-shaped steel pins. The ribbed hand grips were made of walnut wood and attached to the handle with a screw. The screw also held the catch mechanism, manipulated with a button under the crossguard, that was used to fix the bayonet to the rifle's bayonet lug.
The M1910 scabbard was covered in canvas with a leather tip to prevent the blade tip from tearing the material. A wire hook that engaged grommets on the cartridge belt replaced the belt-hanger. The M1910 scabbard was the primary scabbard used during the World War I.
