New member looking for information about bayonets

hello everyone! I am a collector of M1 Garand's and have recently gotten into bayonets. several years ago, I purchased several of them from CMP and one of them has me confused. I have a Utica Cutlery dated 1942 with the fuller going the length of the blade and through the point. So, I am assuming it has been cut down. The part that is confusing, is on the opposite side of the blade it is stamped UFH for Union Fork and Hoe. Does that mean UFH cut the blade down? If this is correct, how common is this? oh, and the scabbard is stamped US M7

 

Welcome to the Forums, jallenbiggs. You may want to try posting your question in the Weapons section of the Militaria sub-forum. You will be more likely to get the attention of the bayonet experts there.

 

Thanks tommy776 I will do that!
