M4 Bayonet KIFFE?

[rash62ol]

I recently purchased a M1 Carbine and recieved a bayonet with it. I have found very little about this bayonet as the markings are pretty beat up. From what I've seen it looks like it is a KIFFE. Thought you all might know a little bit about this as well as a value on something like this.

Google kiffe m4 bayonet. Gary Cunningham's "bayonet points" page comes up.

Kiffe is made in Japan. Not a US maufacture. The scabbard's good though.

I collect U.S. made M-4's to go with my Carbines.

I also have one of the 6 grove handled Kiffe M-4's. I found this at a show many years ago. I don't remember the price though.

It appears someone has carefully scrubbed the Japan marking on the tang of the blade. Wonder why?

I'm not sure where this bayonet has been. I purchased it from a friend who had purchased it with an M1 Carbine at an estate auction.
