EXTREMELY RARE “PROTOTYPE” MODEL 1909 SPRINGFIELD BOLO-BAYONET.

This bayonet is made from a 1909 dated Springfield Armory Bolo SN 2179. This prototype appears original and unaltered, possibly was the model for the Bolo-bayonets made in 1911 and 1913. Regardless Mr. Flayderman’s tag reads, “Very rare M1909 Bolo-bayonet”. The accompanying scabbard is dated and inspected 1909 also. This bayonet appears in “as found” condition and is fine overall including scabbard. There is much controversy over this pattern having even existed, well Mr. Flayderman kept his one for 50 years plus and it appears all orig to us. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine. Blade has areas of staining and pitting. Markings are crisp and easily discerned. There is a crack in the right grip. Otherwise grips are complete and well fit. Locking mechanism is complete and functional. Scabbard overall is very good with scuffing, stains, and one small break near throat on back. Markings are excellent as can be seen in photos. 4-51205 JS17 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 2136
