Phrobis Int.l black fittings & bright blade
 
The following pictures are from an M9 Phrobis International (Marto made) with the unusual sbabbard, grip and pouch in black, while the blade retains the bright color.
Apologize for the first picture, which is not very nice.

Carlo,

Looks like you,ve picked up some nice pieces lately. The black Phrobis Int'l bayonets are not that common, especially those with the dark blade. Information I have indicates that there were only 40 of the dark bladed models made before the decision was made to discontinue them.

Hello!
Yes, I read the topic by pwcosol

about the black fittings & black blade model.
Do you have an idea about the total production numbers of the "Phrobis Int.l" marked M9?
I would guess it could be like this:
1) bright blade-green fittings: 87%
2) bright blade-black fittings: 10%
3) black blade-black fittings: 3%
:confused:

Have you seen this auction
http://http://cgi.ebay.com/Phrobis-3-III-M9A1-Bayonet-M9_W0QQitemZ330311142262QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Defa ultDomain_0?hash=item330311142262&_trksid=p3286.c0 .m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3 A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
All the fittings are black!
But the blade has the "M9A1 Phrobis III" marking, instead of "M9 Phrobis International"
