1905 Wood Bayonet Grips
Great set of grips. It does take a little finial fitting, but they are a good deal for the price. I recommend them.

These 1905 Bayonet handles are the best! They have all parts necessary for installation and fit perfectly! They work on all M1 pattern bayonets as well!
Great product for a great price!

Update to my previous review:
In my previous review I stated: "I could not find an example of ANY M1905 wood grips with this rib/groove pattern. The two half surfaces were made on different machines with different levels of coarse and fine sanding; the grooved ribs do not line up." Well I finally found one on an original, 1906 made, Rock Island Arsenal 16" bayonet and said original is "very close" to the Sarco reproduction so I've raised the Star level to 3 only deducting for the fit of the screw and the difference in cut between the two grip halves. That being said, now a very good friend and high dollar collector wants to trade original grips for my Sarco reworked reproductions and... He KNOWS they're reproductions. Go Figure !

Worked after I WORKED !
PROS: Sarco is the ONLY provider of M1905 wood grips. It only took a minimum of wood removal from the straight flat at the top rear of each grip to get them to fit beautifully.
CONS: I could not find an example of ANY M1905 wood grips with this rib/groove pattern. The two half surfaces were made on different machines with different levels of coarse and fine sanding; the grooved ribs do not line up. WORST... the screw thread and the bushing thread did not match at all. I had to find a hardened 8-32 screw in the parts bin and re-tap the bushing. OUTCOME: The new screw is TIGHT and I very slowly sanded the grips while ON the bayonet and feathered the metal and wood evenly and now I have a very beautiful set of type 1905 first edition smooth grips that I would not have if I hadn't gone thru the trouble so... "Oh CRAP" became "AWESOME !"
