A common thing that happened in WW II. Some new at the time bayonets even had it done before they switched production over to the M1 bayonet. There might be two dates on it with the original maker and the company that modified its name on it too. Downstairs is a M1905 bayonet that turned 100 this year, still in its original arsenal wrapper to go with the M1903 receiver from 1905. And a few other M1/M1903/M1903A3 bayonets and ones also for M1 Carbine. My Christmas present from my BIL will be a Colt framed 1911 with an Ithaca slide.
