My father served on the USS Bremerton, a Baltimore class heavy cruiser. I grew up in Concord and drove past the fleet in Suisun Bay a lot between 1960 and 1990 on the way to Sacramento or Tahoe. It was glorious in the early years. I hated watching it dwindle. The USS Iowa was the last battleship there leaving in 2011. I’ve toured it down in LA, the Missouri and the Texas. Hope to visit the few others that remain before I die. They are something to behold.

I learned a lot about the M1 bayonet today!

Looks like a co2 canister.

Did all cut downs get marked MOD ? Thanks for any responses.

Anyone like it that it's not just a bayonet but also a knife or sword?

So if the blade is unsharpened, does that mean it was never used then?

Hello, thank you for posting this info. Do you know what pistol this was originally designed to be fired from?

Where to get one?

How do you use the ketchum grenade bro

I fear we will desperately need these ships one day Soon

Those are some interesting looking beans. 🙂 Thank you for this forthright, useful video.

Will. It. Take. M17a1. American. Accessories

The Navy has ships piled up everywhere. They will never be used again, couldn't find crews that would know how to get them up n running. Tine to change US law and allow sales to foreign shipbreakers.

The middle bullet would of had a wood plug in the bottom, and could be loaded faster and more times then the minnie ball. When fired the wood plug would puss forward and expain the bullet to fit the barrel. It was more accurate than the minnie. You take tge paper cartridge open the bottom pour the powder in the barrel, them turn it around cause bullets upside down. Push bullet in barrel tire off paper, cause it lubed and it took little effort to load, unlike the mimmie which after a few shots got hard to load.

Great information, the only thing I see left out are the post war scabbards made for the Dutch. There are at least 2 different styles, possibly more with one of which that is not painted.

I was stationed in Philly Naval Shipyard in the 70's. Lots of ships were there. I am a Navy Veteran and learned a lot there

Thank you for the very informative video about the K98 bayonets. I do have one question though. On the scabbard at the top or very near to the top there is a small screw placed What does this small screw do or it's purpose?? Thanx again

Hows the brightness on these

which church?

I received a K98 from the family of a US GI who was present at the D Day landing, and there were two bayonet, one ser no 4213 C, with most of the bluing still present... some very basic corrosion, but not terrible... obviously period correct for the 1941 K98 with all matching numbers. The second bayonet is twice the length... looking for information on that one as it's obviously for the k98, but pre 1915.

Thank you for the education!

Just as a quick little addition. I have a 1943 AFH with 2 unique variants. 1) It is a cut down version of a 1905. The fuller goes all the way to the point (as you describe) and there is No other stamp on it other than the UC stamp on the catch. I "assume" the bayonet was produced in early 1943, not placed in circulation and then reground to conform to the March 4, 1943 Army Ordinance requirements. 2) ALSO it does not have a Bakelite grip. It has the "red grip" produced by CPP: Columbus Plastic Products, Columbus, Ohio. Columbus Plastic CPP made two types of the red CAB grips, the earlier plain type and the second with a re-enforcement plate in the left grip in the area of the screw hole when the first type proved to be prone to cracking in that area. I have the second version with the re-enforcement plate. Another collectible item - the grips and bayonet was 1 of about 100,000 produced by AFH. The red grip Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (commonly called CAB) was allowed as an alternative material to Bakelite. After some time in field use, it was reported that CAB was not resistant to the solvents used to de-grease the bayonets in the field and would dissolve the grips. About 100,000 CAB grips were manufactured before they were discontinued due to this problem in April 1943. From available evidence, it appears that most of these grips were used by AFH, So the bayonet I have survived thru time from early 1943 and now fits perfectly on my M1 Garand. All of this information can be found on Gary Cunningham's web page "bayonet points #23". Sorry for the long reply. Great video.

Awesome video thanks

Germany change the world😂 NASA tech also came from germany😂

Yes indeed

You should change the word submerged to the word afloat😂😂

You are not prepared for how HEAVY two of these, empty, are when you add the weight to the can to the two magazines!!

Can I reuse the filter

Whats the diameter of the glass lens im trying to find a airsoft safe lens to put over it i found an s10 lens online but im not sure if it would fit

Love these - they’re very collectible. Another notable difference between wartime and postwar variants is the medal in the centre. The soldier tends to be leaning further forwards in examples from the 50s onward, with his budenovka being under the T rather than the C. His foot is also turned out towards our left more, whereas wartime variants have his foot pointing towards us. The lettering I believe also changed slightly, although that may have just came with newer award regulations ( no longer wearing the red star at every moment)

What Guage might the leuchtpistole be. Because I might want to get one for reenactments.

Fantastic channel. Thankyou very much for your knowledge

I've got a dark green 1944 U.S. CR med kit from ebay with a 20 mm bullet hole clean right through the front right edge of it, with trailing threads, it missed hitting a small square glass vial of insectiside. by 1/4 inch.

Is it safe breath through the original filter?

I was wondering if you could make a video on how to wear the bag or even forward me to a website where it could show me. I just bought a m2 from a gun show and the guy never showed me

I find that the P51 is a little more easier to use due to being a bit larger and so providing more leverage. Still an amazing invention. I never go anywhere without one

I have a numbers matching 605, not in great condition but interesting none the less. Thank you for posting the great info!

It's weird you know potential history has also say it we think that the us civil war with outdated concepts like infantry of the line but you also have this and also submarines things that actually blow up ( no pun intended) in the used we associated to " modern warfare " but they have them all the way back it's kinda funny how just a 50 years gap can make a huge difference now days before you needed twice that to actually see technological developments

Wehrmacht can opener

My great grandfather had this in ww2 and is missing a hand guard on the right. It took me so long to find info on this baynet

i have one exactly thesame manufacturer as yours, exactly thesame year and a condition so similiar i fr thought you where the previous owner of my bayonet. Ofcourse in noticed the serial number was different.
