RARE WWI U.S. Model 1917 Remington Bayonet + Scabbard 1918 STAMPED For Sale

US Model 1917 Remington Bayonet measures 21.75" overall with a blade length of 17". Shows scattered pitting, blade edge nicks by the pitting, great working press-stud, sharp markings on the ricasso, Screaming eagle and flaming bomb ordnance over US, obverse side stamped, "1918 REMINGTON". Remington made very few specimens with the 1918 date on it instead of the 1917 marking everyone sees. The reason for this is not known for sure, but it is believed that Remington changed the date to show the year of manufacture, and was ordered to change back as the date was to be left as 1917 as the Model date. An interesting rare piece. Comes with the correct scabbard and in very good condition.
