1918 Trench Knife and Unidentified Bayonet

[rcathey]

The trench knife, original or not, is a prohibited weapon here in New Jersey, USA. The AFW M1 bayonet is a common item, I paid US $40.00 for my like new one.

That’s even curiouser. I saw a few go for nearly $400.
Real or fake, I’ll try to buy the trench knife. If it’s fake, I’ll drop $50 or so to keep it for myself. If it’s real, that changes things considerably haha.

Both of those work. The trench can be neat as a repro if the buck is cheap. The bayonet has some variables but you'd have to show me the expensive one before I can say why...things aren't always what they seem, sometimes bidders are just silly too...

Here ya go, Jim:

$102 - WWII US M1 Garand Bayonet American Fork and Hoe AFH With Scabbard WW2 | eBay

$355 - WWII US M1 Garand Bayonet American Fork and Hoe AFH With Scabbard WW2 USGI | eBay

The $355 one certainly looks cleaner but does condition matter THAT much?
