WWII U.S. M1 Bayonet - UFH 1943 with Flaming Bomb & M7 Scabbard

Description: Seller Information: My uncle served in Vietnam (1st Bn 8th Cav Reg, 1st Air Cav Div, '67-68) and built quite a collection while he was alive. I'm in the process of helping it get out of storage and into the hands of other people that would appreciate it as much as he did. Disclaimer: I'm doing the best I can with these listing descriptions. If he were still alive, this would be 4x as long and 100.0% accurate. I'm trying my best. Please message me with any questions for clarifications.Listing Information: This listing features a genuine WWII U.S. M1 bayonet with a unique UFH 1943 marking, complete with a flaming bomb ordnance symbol on the back of the blade. It's paired with what I believe is an authentic M7 scabbard marked with what I described as an “H in a Y” symbol. Based on the production volume, it's likely to be a Beckwith. This bayonet and scabbard combination is a prime example of U.S. military equipment from WWII, highly sought after by collectors for its authenticity and historical significance.Features:Bayonet Type: U.S. M1 BayonetBayonet Markings: UFH 1943, with a flaming bomb ordnance symbol on the reverse side of the bladeScabbard Type: M7 scabbard by Beckwith Manufacturing Co., marked with the “H in a Y” symbolEra: WWII productionBlade Length: Approximately 10 inchesOverall Length: Approximately 14 inchesMaterials: Steel blade with a robust plastic grip; fiberglass body and metal throat on the scabbardCondition: Good condition, showing minor wear consistent with age.
