Description: This is a 1943 stamped M1 Carbine bayonet that has an M3 blade, on M4 crossguard and handle. This appears to have been factory work, as the piece is very tight in construction, and the peen mark on the pommel looks to be factory as well. The scabbard is a correct model for this knife.

The M3 fighting knife or M3 trench knife was an American military combat knife first issued in March 1943. The M3 was originally designated for issue to soldiers not otherwise equipped with a bayonet. However, it was particularly designed for use by elite or \"shock\" forces in need of a close-combat knife, such as airborne troops and Army Rangers. These units received priority for the M3 at the start of production. As more M3 knives became available in 1943 and 1944, the knife was issued to other soldiers such as Army Air Corps crewmen and soldiers not otherwise equipped with a bayonet, including soldiers issued the M1 Carbine or submachine gun. The M3 trench knife was discontinued in August 1944, after the M1 Carbine was modified to accept a knife-type bayonet, the M3\'s blade and handle design was incorporated on the new bayonet, officially designated the Bayonet, U.S. M4. This item shows a transition from the M3 to M4, and is a rarity indeed!
