Bauer Ordnance Corp was located in Detroit, MI. Rock Island records show only one contract to them, but it was a huge one. The RIA records show deliveries of 1,835,392 M7 bayonets between October 1968 and October 1969. I have not found a CAGE for them indicating they probably were no longer in business by the mid-1970s, and may have been created just for this contract, although I have no documentation of that fact. They are normally found in PWH M8A1 scabbards, the only maker during the late 1960s.
