I wish to have this bayonet, it is a complete set. I think this will go as high as $4k when the bid is over, and it has a reserve on it.

I am thinking of having it reproduce here in the PI, using original M1 garand handle, we can make the blades here and have it welded by a good machinist. This will be a long project and research on the dimensions and tech specs.

A reproduction can certainly be made that way. What about the "hook" at the end of the handle? Weld as well?

The one I saw on ebay a few years ago went for several thousand dollars.

Here's another thread on it:
