fyi I got my AF&H M1 bayonet on tuesday the 15.
I ordered an AF &H bayonet in late december via mail. they got the order just after new years. I recieved an email on the 11th of Febuary saying they were processing my order.
Got 2nd email on the 14 th of feb saying my bayonet was being shipped, scheduled to arrive by 4:30 on the 17th. I got it Tuesday afternoon.
It is in very good plus condition. i believe it was refinished as it is much darker than my UC I bought from SOG in 1989.
It has a serial number on the crossguard "11045".
the scabbard is in great shape, and is US made. tho the metal finish is worn.
I am happy with it. I still need one more so each of my M1's can have their own bayonet. I may just get an M5a1 as it would be 'correct' for my 1999 cmp M1 which was rebuilt at Toole in January 66, my month and year of birth.
thanks for reading, i just wanted you guys waiting to know the cmp is working thru the pile.
I took pics but they were crap. I shake too much.
