For the Gentlemen of Quarterbore: This photo portrays George C. Davis practicing with an M-1 rifle bayonet, while stationed on the Korean countryside, August 1950. This man crafted the original prototype for U.S. Patent 4,458,420---the M-9 baynet was born of this reality.

Davis fought with the U.S. Army 24th Infantry Division, 21st Regiment, 3rd Battalion, from July 1950-July1951.

This original prototype is displayed at www.kurtisddavis.com ( select menu option "Background of the Invention"---go to bottom of page).
