    I see you have a rubber handled M4. Those were in high demand a few years back, bringing high prices. I found a source here and sold a few that I bought at $10CDN each. They ranged from as new to complete junk, had come from somewhere in the Pacific I think.

    I was told it was Korean. Blade and hilt identical to US made M4 bayonet. The scabbard it came in was garbage, though so I replaced it.
