I'm not even close to being knowledgable on U.S. bayonets and cannot comment on this example. I will add that I know a Garand / M-1 Carbine collector who bought a crate of WWII / Korean War issue bayonets from a Nat'l Guard Armory. They were all NIB and in as issued condition. So it is possible, but a rare circumstance.
