Johnson bayonet

[M48TANKER 0]

Gentlemen,

I just saw this on Gunbroker: "https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/1028961745"

Apparently the seller is NOT trying to fool anyone. Please look this offering over well and let me know what you think of it. My gut instinct tells me that this is most likely a reproduction bayonet and an "AGED" sheath.  Someone did a pretty good job of distressing it.

Note the seller's description is worded so as to not mislead a potential buyer.

I saw this too, and immediately had suspicious thought's about the wording. I would definitely pass on this. There is some good information on this site about how to identify bayonets, Including the sheathing stitching and some other indicators. If you haven’t viewed this, check it out. Hopefully the link will work for you all.

If it's fake, it is made to look authentic.
