The M1905E1 Bayonet - EDGED WEAPONS - U.S. Militaria Forum
Mar 9, 2016 — 2,818. Location: north carolina. #1. Posted March 9, 2016. The shortened M1905 bayonet, often referred to as the M1905E1, doesn’t seem to generate much interest among collectors, although I suspect many US Militaria collectors have one in their closet.

All those in the picture are new made (1943) M1 bayonets that are dated 1943. The long Garand bayonets (M1905/42), were mostly all dated 1942 or 1943.

Jan 8, 2012 — That said, there isn't a real reliable way to date M7 bayonets, however, if you want to be sure that your bayonet is a Viet Nam era bayonet, then get a Milpar marked M7.
