Offered for sale is a Korean War M1 Garand M5-1 J&D Tool Co. and M8 BM CO. Scabbard with Canvas Velcro Ammo Pouches. The bayonet features a 6 3/4" blade. The M5 was introduced in 1953 to replace the M1 and M1905E1 bayonets used with the M1 rifle. The M5 mated the blade of the M4 bayonet with a hilt incorporating a novel attachment system. In place of a muzzle ring, the crosspiece had a steel stud that inserted into the M1 rifle's gas cylinder lock screw. The pieces are in good condition, with some slight wear from handling. The button on the scabbard appears to be bent and does not button.
