hi dow
hope this e mail finds you doing good this dress bayonet you show here in my honest opinion i believe the clam shell with army eagle was added to this nice dress bayonet in the last few years i have seen these white metal clam shells poping up here n there it appears to newish for a 70 year old bayonet . it certainly looks handsome with this clam shell on it but again in my opinion its not period done perhaps outhers can give thier opinions hope they agree thanks god bless andy militarynut
