This particular bayonet was manufactured by Utica Cutlery (UC). These bayonets are the first true M1 Garand Rifle bayonets and were manufactured during WWII. They are basically shortened versions of the US Model 1905 and the arsenal refurbished bayonets designated the US Model 1905/42; however, they are more closely related the interim bayonets designated the US Model E1 that was used on the Springfield 03-A3 and the M1 Garand Infantry Rifles during WWII. No big value even in very good condition most sell for under $100.00 at a auction.
