I know that during the past weeks ebay was full of chevrons, numbered and un-numbered. Probably more chevron auctions than standard M9 ones :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
Anyway, the last numbered chevron

has some very nice documentation, also offered for sale.
I'd love to obtain a copy of the blueprints and the Material Review Report dated 1/16/87 and the interoffice memo from the Quality Assurance Manager of Buck......just asked the seller :smile:

I asked the seller too...I think he is willing to send copies of them, so I am going to give him my address.

Rex,
did you, at the end, manage to grab one of the numbered chevrons?

Yes, Carlo I was able to win one on ebay...I managed to get one for 810.01, which was the most I have ever payed for an M9 followed by a Army issue General Cutlery one. It is numbered 77. I know you have one too by reading the posts on here..

Yes, you are correct.
Back in 2005 I was lucky enough to find the number #63 for "only" $ 850 :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
The seller had already sent pictures of the above bayonet to this site.
They are still available here

P.S. Pictures do not show the optional cutter plate with safety stop and scabbard warning decal, but they were included in the purchase.
