While going thru my dad's safe I found an old bayonet sitting in the rear, pops said I can have It (sweet) he has no use for it. It measures almost 16"s on the blade I would like more info from the pros my Google fu is weak.

M1 Garand bayonet, by the look of it.

Looks like the WWII version of the M1905 bayonet (made in the years 1942 and 1943). The UC on it means it was manufactured by Utica Cutlery.

Here's a very brief history on the bayonets. (There were as many variations, depending on who and when it was made, as there are with the garands and the M1 carbines).

Now you just need a garand to go with it.

that's a Garand bayo, they are HARD to find. do yourself a favor and keep it oiled and find a rifle to pair it up with.

Please tell me you are joking.

That is a kin to jacking up an original Cobra into a muddin truck.
