At one time or another, nearly ever nation on earth has fielded the M1 Garand.
As a United Nations member state, it made sense for Turkey to adopt the M1 Garand after World War 2. Ammunition was abundant and all of its allies used it.
Entering the Korean War, the Turkish noticed that the grips on their M1 Garand Bayonets were wearing out quite quickly. To avoid this, they simply subbed the material they were made of for aluminum. Making them tougher, but retaining the light weight needed for a bayonet.
These are USED but in generally good condition. Just need some CLP and a rub down.
