Original U.S. Vietnam War M7 Bayonet with Experimental Brass Knuckle Guard with M8A1 Scabbard

Item Description

Original Item: Very Few Available. These experimental bayonet fighting knives began life as M7 bayonets for use with a the U.S. M16 rifle. However, a one-piece cast brass grip panel with integrated knuckle duster guard was added in theater to create a dual purpose bayonet and close combat handheld weapon. These were very popular among USGIs in Vietnam but only very few were ever issued. Furthermore, brass examples are extremely rare.

These examples are offered in very good condition with signs of light rust on the scabbards and overall use. M7 bayonets have various makers including BOC for Bauer Ordnance Co. The M8A1 scabbard also have various maker markings including PWH for the Philadelphia Home for Working Blind.

Overall these are a very interesting unique U.S. fighting knife dating from the Vietnam War and just after.
