    M4 Bayonet KIFFE?

    I recently purchased a M1icon 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.

















    Thanks - Rash

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Kiffe is made in Japanicon. 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 Japanicon 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 M1icon Carbine at an estate auction.
