Gents,
I am researching bayonets for the US rifle, cal .30 m1917 and have questions about the markings. On one side there is the flaming bomb mark and an eagles head with a number below it. Some folks have said that number represents the manufacture date of that bayonet. Others say it's the mark of the individual inspector which inspected the bayonet. Can anyone clear that up definitively?
Thanks
David
