I'd have to dig mine out and count...I know that I've got at least a dozen M3 knives and M4 bayonets. One is an early blade marked Boker in an M6 scabbard, and one of the last is a rubber handled M4 Utica in a late steel tipped M8a1 scabbard. I need to take and post a picture of that collection....
When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

jimb16,
Nice looking collection of carbine accy's, I esp. like your M6 leather scabbard. they are getting harder to find, and when you do they are 2 too 3 times higher then the M3 trench knife by it's self.
Thanks for the pic's.

USGI,
I never knew their was markings under the ears of the scabbard's, I looked at both of mine : on the M8 scabbard it looks like B 1/1 N, best I can tell.
On the M8A1 it looks like B 3/9 N.
Do you know what these numbers mean ?
Thanks for letting me know about these markings.

That information may be in "Bayonet Points" - all I can remember right now is the lower the numbers, the earlier they were made. - Bob
