The pommel includes a functional push-button release catch for attachment to the M1 Garand rifle. Ricasso is stamped “U.C.” over “U.O.S.” beneath the ordnance flaming bomb emblem. Accompanied by an original M7 olive-drab fiberglass scabbard with steel throat stamped “U.S.” and ordnance bomb. Overall length approximately 15¾ inches.
