WW2-Era US M4 Bayonet by Imperial in PWH M8A1 Scabbard

WW2-Era US M4 Bayonet by Imperial in PWH (Pennsylvania Working Home (for the Blind)) manufactured M8A1 Scabbard

Originally designed for the M1 Carbine, the M4 bayonet was issued from 1944 onwards. Manufactured by Imperial Knife Co. pre-1953, paired with an original, albeit likely later,  PWH M8A1 scabbard, complete with green canvas hanger and reinforced steel throat. The bayonet features a parkerized blade, untouched and factory sharp, with the Imperial Co. maker’s mark stamped on the cross guard. The leather grip and plastic spacers are in excellent condition, with tightly stacked washers and no signs of use, consistent with its unissued status. The M8A1 scabbard, made by Pennsylvania Working Home (for the Blind) manufacturer’s mark, retains its original finish, with the US markings crisp and legible, and the web belt loop and strap button still functional. The pommel is marked “SP” (Standard Products Co.) and lot number “68”, indicating it was heat-treated by Standard Products
