WW1 - Restoration of bayonet, turning a rusty relic into a piece of history

Hello, The bayonet, is a bladed weapon that attaches to a rifle barrel for close combat like a spear. Is believed to have been invented by 17th-century peasants from Bayonne who used their hunting knives as makeshift spears due to lack of ammunition. The US 1917 bayonet was manufactured by Remington (2 million copies) and Winchester (500,000 copies) from 1917. It was used by American troops during World War I, with 65% of rifles being US Model 1917s. It was also compatible with “Trench Gun“ type pump-action shotguns. These bayonets were used by the United States during World War II and the Korean War due to their availability in large stocks. I practice the restoration of objects in poor condition. This is a passion, so it is not my profession. Just enjoy the video. GOOD VIEWING !! :) FACEBOOK : INSTAGRAM : TIKTOK : @french_restore
