American Fork & Hoe Italian Contract Beretta BM59 Rifle Knife Bayonet & Plastic Scabbard Manufacturer: American Fork & Hoe Co. Model: BM59 Blade Length: 9.75" Serial #: 0817 TEXT GOES HERETEXT GOES HERE --> Offered here is a WWII US made M1 Garand bayonet that was converted to fit an Italian BM59 rifle, plus a plastic scabbard. These were originally made for M1903 and M1 Garand rifles but in 1959 they were retrofitted to fit the larger barrel ring for the Italian BM59 rifle. Some of the bayonets were cut down M1905 bayonets and others were the regular standard issued shorter blade Model M1 bayonets. This one is the standard issue M1 shorter blade bayonet. This will NOT fit a 1903 or M1 Garand. Overall, this bayonet is in Very Good - Very Good Plus condition, considering its age and history. The press catch is functional with stiff spring tension. The pommel and guard are securely fastened to the tang, but the guard has a vey slight wiggle - almost not worth mentioning. The original guard was replaced with the larger cylinder guard so it is not unusual to have a light wiggle. It is still securely attached though. They have light scrapes and superficial oxidation. The finish has started to change to a patina color. The one (1x) screw securely fastens the serrated grip panels to the tang. The screw has light oxidation and light tool marks with a strong slot. Some of the grip serrations are fairly worn down with draglines and scrapes. The finish is intact. The spine has light impact marks. The fullers and sides have light handling marks with some light finish loss along the leading edges. The blade edge has no nicks or dings and the blade has its original factory edge. The tip is intact and comes to a semi-sharp straight point. Most of the original finish still remains. REMEMBER, it will NOT FIT a 1903 or a M1 Garand rifle. The left ricasso is marked "A.F.H." over a flaming bomb and "U.S.". The right ricasso has the serial number "0817". The plastic scabbard is in Good - Very Good condition, considering its age and history. The M1910 belt hook hanger is functional, rotates easily and rotates its original shape. It has light oxidation and is securely fastened to the metal locket. The locket has oxidation and is securely attached to the plastic body. The body has scrapes and scattered finish loss. Most of the coloring is still intact. The exterior locket is marked with a flaming bomb and "U.S." in the center. Below that on the plastic is the number "34". This bayonet and scabbard will be a great addition to your Italian BM59 rifle, or a bayonet collection in general. As with all used items, a light cleaning may be necessary to meet your standards.
