Ontario Commemoratives

[lee cousens]

I have recently bought the ARMY & USMC commemo rative ONTARIO m9 s , could anybody tell me if there is an air force version?

Ontario only made an Army and USMC commemorative. They supposedly made 500 of each. I imagine they only made these two as these are the two branches of the US military that use the M9 bayonet.

Hello,
at the moment there is one of these bayonets (US Army version) for sale on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-US-Army-Ont...QQcmdZViewItem
An example of an Ontario commemorative for the USMC is shown in the following tread in this forum

My question is: until now the Ontario commemoratives I saw for sale on ebay were ALL numbered on the blade "1 of 500" ..I never saw a blade with written on it "2 of 500" or "150 of 500".
So, are they really a "limited edition"?
I honestly can't understand if the "1 of 500" logo on the blades means that:
a) the bayonet is the number # 1 (so there should be a number # 2, 3....of a total of 500 made, or
b) the bayonet is one (not numbered) of a total of 500 made --> all the bayonets have the same marking "1 of 500"?
Found this a little bit confusing....

All of the bayonets are marked "1 of 500". There is no number 2. It simply means that they made 500 bayonets and this is one of them.

MAny of these commemeratives are marked on th ebox, and literature only.setting up a system to individually number the blades would be expensive, so keep your box!

Since this post first appeared Ontario has also come out with a SOCOM M9 bayonet. Again, a 500 piece run.
