Here is a few more recent (Post 1950) U.S. Bayonets. In the mix there is a real nice experimental knife, I'll let you figure it out-SDH

Looks like a real nice dark park Case M4 with a correct M8A1 type 3 scabbard. A real keeper in my book-SDH

thanks,i should have put this post in the: bayonet looking for a gun rubric...
but time is on my side,as a junior collector...
it's korean war aged,i was told.

[sdh1911]

does it have the DOD mark? Eagle with stars in a box? That would indicate a post 1954 re-build.SDH

[tristanium]

no eagle at all.
there's an O with the flame on top stamped on the guard(grip side), an S with a P under stamped on the pommel.U.S.M4 CASE on the guard(blade side).

Sound good to me, hang on to that one-SDH

Just for the record, the bright blade knife has no bayonet attachment and brite blade. This knife was a proto-type, 1960's vintage, very few out and about-SDH

nice array of bayos , great photos ,
you have some very fine examples in your collection , i for one would enjoy it if you would list details for each piece ,

i only collect one for each of my rifles[while having an example of each if there are more than one for a rifle like the M1garand]and ive not looked for exceptional pieces in general ,

these are my later ones , M1 through M7, i do have an M9 but it was aquired after the photo was taken ,
