Hello everyone

I recently picked up my first US Model 1905 bayonet with Model 1910 second pattern scabbard from eBay. The seller’s pictures weren’t great but the price was good so I thought I would take the risk.

Bayonet was made at Rock Island Arsenal in 1910 and has a bright finish blade which looks like it has been lightly hand sharpened/polished at some stage. The scabbard canvas has a tear near the hook and a spare piece of canvas has been jammed in to hold the hook in place. I know there are a lot of reproduction scabbards so I would like some opinions on whether this is original and also if anyone knows what the painted on markings refer to.

Thanks
Alex

Proxi-bid has an upcoming auction that has along with other items many lots of Third Reich porcelain. Here is a link if anyone interested https://www.proxibid.com/asp/Catalog.asp?aid=101310 If you take a look please leave feedback as I have been trying to match maker marks with very little success. This auction is not above selling less than original items so not sure whats good and whats not.

Thanks for any info. Dave,
