- Lot Description
13.625 in. M-1909 bolo-style blade, 19.5 in. in overall length. Obverse ricasso marked US / 10322 and reverse ricasso marked SA / [Flaming Bomb] / 1910. Walnut grip with brass rivets and pommel cap. Hilt modified with bayonet locking mechanism from the M-1905 bayonet and guard of the M-1905 type with muzzle ring. While more than 17,000 M-1909 Bolo Knives were produced at Springfield Arsenal between 1909 and 1915 it is believed that only between 50-100 of these scarce bayonets were produced experimentally at Springfield ca 1911-1913. Accompanied by a later 1917 contract scabbard by Ladew.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.About fine overall, with clear markings that are slightly light. Mostly bright blade with thick areas of green verdigris. Grip scales very good with some dings and mars. Bayonet latching mechanism is fully functional. The scabbard is a Ladew contract scabbard for the 1917 contract version of the M-1909 bolo and remains in very good condition with clear markings and some moderate finish loss, surface scuffing and wear.Condition
