Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Genuine Vietnam War Era U.S. Army M6 bayonet fighting knife for the M-14 Rifle, complete with its original wrapper and 1968 dated box! This knife-style bayonet was based on the M4 bayonet for the M1 Carbine, which was itself based on the M3 fighting knife. The M6 is almost identical, except for the larger muzzle ring to go over the M14's flash hider, and the attaching system. This example is nicely marked U.S. M7 / IMPERIAL around the blade on the cross guard. This was manufactured by Imperial Knife Co, at the time one of the largest knife manufacturers in the country. They had manufactured many M4 bayonets for the m1 Carbine, as well as the M5 for the M1 Garand, and the M7 for the M-16. All of these featured the same blade, with different handles and other fittings.
The blade is in excellent unissued condition, showing no use at all, just a bit of dust and debris from the wrapping. The blade is still very sharp, with the original factory grind. Grips are the standard hard black checkered phenolic type, and they are in excellent condition, with no cracks or chips or other signs of use.
The bayonet comes wrapped in original marvellum brand corrosion inhibitor paper, and inside an original box indicating that it is a BAYONET-KNIFE, M6. The date on the box is 12/68, so this is definitely a Vietnam war issue bayonet.
The perfect accessory for any Vietnam War issue M14 Rifle.
