Hello Folks,
There is no reason I can think of not to share this Info with you all.
I actually had the opportunity to meet and talk with the seller of these bayonets.
Having need to come home, he is located 40 minutes from where I live, I met with him this past Sat. and we both went through the last footlocker of M9’s. There were quite a few 3 lines in both style M’s, not as many 4 lines.
Now for the best part, there were 10 “Chevron” M9’s, in the group, no kidding. None were badly abused, like the rest of the bayonets they just showed use and some neglect. As Mike mentioned, the scabbards showed most of the wear, repaired grip straps and belt hangers, scuffed scabbard bodies, engraved unit markings and numbers. The bayonets themselves were in very nice condition, some had a little rust on guards and pommels, but nothing bad. I wish that I had thought of taking a camera for reference photos, but not to be.
Something else should be said regarding the sale of all of these bayonets, this is not for personal gain, the money is going to a charity in the Ft Hood area, Mike is a veteran, and one of the nicest gentlemen you could meet.
Best... Chris
