This bayonet is in excellent working condition, as you can see from the photo\'s, it does not show any significant signs of wear. I cannot not see any signs of rust, pitting or sharpening. This is my best bayonet and you will be happy to own it, or at least I will be happy you own it. This near perfect bayonet is the rare 1917 RIA. and it has the original walnut grips and hardware. This is an original 16\" m1905 bayonet made in 1917. If you have any questions, please send them and I will try to answer them.
