This is an original U.S. military M1 Bayonet manufactured by Oneida Limited (OL) and dated 1942, as marked on the ricasso with the clear “OL / U.S. / 1942” stamp.
The bayonet features the classic wartime configuration with black composite grips, steel crossguard, and matching U.S. military M3 fiberglass scabbard. The blade retains a clean appearance with clearly visible markings, while the scabbard is marked with the standard U.S. military property stamp.
Originally produced for service with the M1 Garand rifle system, the M1 bayonet remains one of the most recognizable American military edged weapons of the Second World War. Examples dated 1942 represent early wartime production and are highly desirable among collectors of U.S. WWII militaria.
