The TWB and the PWH Scabbards were the prime contractors in the early phase of the Vietnam War (1965-1969) This Bayonet and the Scabbard were put in a larger box in 03-1977 (seen in picture 1) and have remained in storage since then. These Vietnam War era items were never used. May have shop wear from being in storage. Also normal oxidizing in brass snaps seen in picture 3 can be polished or you may leave normal pantina.

With the exception of the last 2 pictures showing the bayonet in action.  Bayonet, Scabbard, boxes and all packing is included.  Will be boxed back up in original box and packaged in a larger box to protect the contents and the original box.
