    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....

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Let's see if I can attach a couple of pictures.








    There are a few others that aren't in these pictures. I also have a nice selection for the M1icon, 03, 03a3 and M1917; a couple of which managed to sneak into one of these pictures.....

    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
