Another Carbine bayonet question

[JimF4M1s (Deceased)]

US Military Knives Bayonets & Machetes Book #3 by M. H. Cole will answer you questions about originality. Great book but now i9s getting pricey $150 and up. The later "The Best of Military Knives bayonets & Machetes By M. H. Cole editited by Mike Silvey runs $300+. It is a compilation of all the Cole books. Maybe no bargains but great information drawings and pictures. Cole has been considered the top guy on US Military knives before he passed. I have #3 and #4 plus the Silvey compilation. Hours and hours of great reading. They were my education into the knife world.
