This also comes with a Dutch laminated wood scabbard. Original M1905 bayonets were made with a 16" blade during WWI. Strategies changed when the WWII rolled around and military advisors required M1905 bayonets to be shortened to 10". When the war began, M1905 bayonets were cut down to the required 10", but as production ramped up, the M1905E1 (cut-down version) was produced at the required 10" and now designated the M1 bayonet. This one is one was originally a 1905 that was cut down. Interestingly, this was cut down even more to 6.5", more like a fighting knife but still functional as a bayonet. During the Cold War, the US provided the Netherlands rifles and bayonets under the Military Assistance Program in 1950 and 1963. Germany made scabbards for Holland out of Durofol (a laminated wood).
