Any GCGF members knowledgeable with regards to WWI bayonets? I stumbled across a bayonet in a small town pawn shop and decided to pick it up for what I thought was a decent price. The bayonet has a very long blade that appears uncut and unmodified with a drop tip and a single sharpened edge.
It has the following imprints: the word "Remington" in a circular pattern. Above that are the numbers "9" and "17" - and above that is "1913". The other side has the mark "US". Above that is what looks like an arrowhead with a crown below and "A2" and "A" below that. There are diagonal lines imprinted either under or over those marks.
It came with a scabbard that appears to be leather with a sewn seam on one side - a metal tip and a metal top with a tear drop frog hanger. Here are pics of the markings:
