Are these Type 3 bands a good deal?

[USGI]

There's still time left to bid on these. I don't know much about them, but must be late WWII era replacements. I figured they might be marked something like "AI" but can't tell because the pictures are so blurry. I was high bidder until a couple days ago, but decided to back off on bidding any higher. What do you guys think? Thanks. - Bob

Worth $60 stil in the wrap.
Not sure if there are marked.
Shipping is cheap.

Yeah, that's what I had figured so my bid and shipping added up to $60. Then when I realized how cheap the shipping is, I thought I should go up by at least that amount! I got a hunch his maximum is probably already higher than that though. I don't think I'll win, but I'm going to go up a bit now intstead of waiting until the last second. - Bob

Well, he's going to pay more than Charlie says they're worth!

Type in m1 carbine bayonet band on GB. Couldn't get my search results to attach here. I found a full page. un-opened packs of 2 and 10. Some repacked. Not sure on markings. Got company now, play time over.

Good Luck,
