Rare Experimental World War II Hot Point T2 Bayonet with Scabbard for the M1 Garand Rifle

Offered is a rare experimental Hot Point T2 bayonet with metal scabbard for the M1 Garand rifle. These bayonets were tested in limited numbers by the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps as a potential replacement for the M1 bayonet, with simplified construction along with a stamped sheet metal scabbard in an attempt to speed up production capabilities. The project was ultimately terminated due to the indication that the M1 bayonet was deemed satisfactory and there were enough of them made already. There were a few variations reportedly produced and tested, with very few surviving specimens today. The metal section of the grip is marked "Hotpoint/1944" on the left and numbered "80" on the right (both markings hidden under the grip panels). Checkered plastic grip panels. The blade itself measures at 10 inches, with the bayonet having a 14 1/2 inch overall length without scabbard affixed, and 15 3/4 inch overall length with scabbard affixed.

ConditionVery good overall, with scattered light to mild freckling, minimal wear on the sharpened blade, and a few nicks and absent diamond panels in the otherwise crisp checkering on the grip panels. Writer cannot recall another that we have offered in recent times, very rare!
